It now looks like The crispin, ashgate road, chesterfield is set to become a CO-OP
Plans have been submitted to CBC to make alterations to the pub.
As far as i can tell, these plans are pretty much the same as what Tesco wanted to do. ?
So why has no one raised any objections to the CO-OP turning this pub in to a shop ?
A local group of people by the collective name of "save the crispin" went all out protesting, to prevent this pub from becoming a Tesco, but now that it is to be a CO-OP they couldn't give a toss !
As i, and many others suspected from the start of their "save the crispin " campaign, .. they were not really bothered about "saving the crispin", THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT TESCO TO HAVE IT !!! in fact none of this grey bearded pedal pushing group ever frequented the pub when it was open!!. So come on what's the difference between Tesco turning the pub in to a shop & The CO-OP ?
