Villagers Register The Wellington Hotel As A Community Asset

Due to the uncertainty of the future of the Wellington Public House, a group of villagers have registered the building with Halton Borough Council, as a "Community Asset".
The Community Asset status, was issued in late 2015.
If an asset is listed and then comes up for sale, the new right will give an eligible community interest group that wishes to be treated as a potential bidder to purchase the asset 6 months to put together a bid to buy it. This right is intended to give communities an increased chance to save shops, pubs or other local facilities which are of community value.
