Hugo Swire MP becomes Save The Red Lion campaign patron

The Rt Hon Hugo Swire MP last week became the patron of the Save The Red Lion campaign. The campaign is fighting to retain the pub in Sidbury for the local community.

Hugo Swire told a packed pub that he was pleased to agree to become the Campaign's Patron as "The pub is part of the community, it's a wonderful asset for the village - it would be a very sad day when its closed".

Campaign Chair Fred Burnett said "Having such a high profile and well connected MP as a patron of the Campaign reinforces the importance that the village attaches to retaining the Red Lion as a pub for the local community".

The campaign expects soon to make a further significant announcement in it's quest to save the pub.
