Pulmans View's Excellent Coverage Of Campaign's Latest

Many thanks to this week’s Pulmans View from Sidmouth for the excellent and extensive coverage of the agreement by Punch Taverns to sell the Red Lion to Sidbury Community Enterprises. Pulmans’ coverage starts on its front page under the banner headline “Campaigners have agreed a deal to save Red Lion pub”.

Whilst Pulmans View’s story continues on page 4 the story of the campaign to retain the Red Lion is addressed in the newspaper’s editorial on page 3 under the editor’s very supportive comments headed “Fancy owning a pub?”

Pulmans View has, all the way through the campaign been incredibly supportive of the aims and objectives that it has striven to achieve.
