Red Lion on the Radio...
A couple of members of The Red Lion Community Group recently spoke on The Eye - Melton's community radio station. Excerpts from the interview can be downloaded here (be patient as they are quite big files!)
Progress so far...
The Red Lion Community Group has been working hard over the past few weeks and have made considerable progress towards a position from where we can submit an offer to buy the Red Lion. So far, we have:

-
Set up a bank account
-
Gathered local opinions via our online survey
-
Created the website and a Facebook page #savetheredlionstathern
-
Joined the Plunkett Foundation: an organisation established to support community projects
-
Funded & commissioned a valuation report and have had viewings of the property
-
Applied to the FCA for incorporation as a Community Benefit Society
-
Prepared for the launch of a Share Offer Scheme to raise the funds to purchase the property
Look out for more information on the Share Offer, available on this website.
