So long as my information is correct the only Councillor who voted agianst refusal was Councillor Shaw who represents Bromyard Bringsty Ward.
Odd you may think? However he is also a Cabinet Support Member for corporate strategy and finance - which may explain it
But if I have his voting wrong then I apologise

​If only they could be encouraged to open it up again
Or - the cycleway could be extended north to Burcott Road
The access to the pub site is only legally onto Newtown road and it is dangerous. The access to the front of the Lads Club is private - owned by the Council - the former pub had a licence to use it
