Residents have launched a petition to save a historic pub in a village near Nantwich.

Landlords with longer-term empty properties face higher taxes as Cheshire East Council looks to toughen its stance.
The local authority increased a premium on empty properties in April 2019 – meaning owners of homes stood empty for at least two years pay double the amount of council tax other households pay.
A homeowner from Willaston, Nantwich is among those facing court action in a crackdown on unsightly empty properties. The warning from Cheshire East Council comes after a Crewe man was convicted in court for allowing an empty home to become dilapidated.
Owners of vacant homes in Nantwich are being warned by councillors to put their houses in order. Cheshire East Council is cracking down on what it calls “nuisance properties” in the area.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
