Villagers fight new bid to turn General Elliot pub into a house (From Oxford Mail)
VILLAGERS have pledged to save a former award-winning pub from another bid to turn it into a house.

Vale of White Horse District Council threw out a previous bid to turn it into a house in June 2010.

Parish council chairman Maggie Rawcliffe said: “We are still fighting.
