The proprietors of the recently reopened Hope and Anchor on Station Road, Welham Green, want to extend the hours the pub can open and remove the restriction limiting the pub to staging 12 social events a year.

The pub’s director says the change is aimed at meeting local demand, and to offer a budget venue in Welham Green.

Anyone concerned about the increase in opening hours has until Friday 7 February to make their representations.
