A "community buy out" isn't the most accurate way to describe a (small?) group of people wishing to buy premises to operate from. Quite why they simply cannot buy an empty shop on the High St or attempt to buy this pub through the normal channels I don't know...

More info on PEDAL: http://www.pedal-porty.org.uk/ - a community group, but I think it'd be push to say they represent the community.

Oh, and how do you attach a wind turbine to the ground floor of a four storey tenement?

A listed tenement at that. They don't seem to realise the length of time a wind turbine takes to pay for itself let alone run into profit. Maybe its a wind farm on top of the tenement they are proposing. not the first time i have heard or read some off the wall suggestions from PEDAL.

The last one was in relation to local allotment holders selling their excess produce as advocated in their literature. This contravenes the Allotments Act and regulations which specifically prohibit plot holders from selling produce grown on their alllotment.

Their intentions seem to be good but some work on the legalities and business case side of things needs work.

I think the Plough, which is actually up for sale not lease, has a better feel for art classes and a youth club.

A couple of cracking names from the PEDAL crustifari... Eva Schonveld & Dave du Feu .

I cant see the problem with closing the high street for a few hours, especially if there is a farmers market on offer.Notice they are going to start their cycle on the prom, these militants just get more crazy and lawless each day...thought you couldnt cycle on the prom?
