100 pubs in England have now been given Assets of Community Value (ACV) status with their local councils, which means the pub can not be sold on without the local community being told. It grants councils greater powers to refuse planning applications from developers and gives the community up to six months to put in a bid to buy the pub should it be put up for sale.
There are three pubs in Berkshire so far that have successfully applied for this status:
- Tally Ho in Hungerford Newtown
- The Retreat in Reading
- The Golden Harp, Maidenhead
