Campaigners are still fighting to get the West End Tap back open Lincoln Lincolnshire
A Lincoln pub which was narrowly saved from permanent closure has been granted more protection from development.The beloved pub on Newland Street was nearly turned into flats earlier this year, until campaigners convinced the council to give it another chance.However, the pub’s owners are divided over the Tap’s future, and there are no guarantees that it will ever pull another pint.
However the other owners, Nigel and Lewis Delahey, claim the pub is impossible to sustain and want to find a new use for it.Campaigners happy to see the West End Tap kept as a pub | Photo: LDRS The City of Lincoln Council said the pub offered a valuable place where the student population and local residents could interact.
“There is not yet a single urban community pub in the East Midlands – let’s hope the Tap can be the first!”More than 80 people packed into a planning committee in April to hear the pub’s fate, when the committee unexpectedly gave it a second chance.
