Our aim
Save the Nags Head, Saltby
Meet the team
The Steering Group
As a community we have formed a Steering Group and are progressing well on the journey of buying the Nags Head as a Community Pub.
Our steering group aims to acquire the freehold of the Nags Head and, through the appointment of an experienced tenant, under a favourable lease, establish a thriving community pub at the heart of our village. Our vision is to create a welcoming, viable, rural pub known for the quality and value of its food, drinks, and services, while actively supporting the local community. The pub will serve as a meeting place for groups, teams, and organizations, fostering connections and enhancing social cohesion. It will be a space where all members of our community can relax, enjoy conversations, friendships, refreshments and strengthen bonds, promoting both physical and mental well-being while reducing social isolation. The Nags Head will continue to be the heart of our rural community—truly “More than a Pub.”
Supported by our MP
The Nags Head Community Pub Committee has been fortunate to meet with our local MP, Edward Argar, to discuss our ongoing efforts to “Save the Nags” and pursue the purchase of the pub as a community asset.
During the meeting, Edward expressed his full support for our campaign and showed genuine interest in the future of the pub and its importance to the local community. He has kindly offered to assist us however he can. His encouragement has been a great boost to our team and reinforces our commitment to bringing the Nags Head into community ownership.
Expected Timeline
We will shortly be adding our plans. In the meantime the action committee holds periodic open meetings to keep everyone updated and in addition news and updates will be posted on both this website, the village of Saltby website and the local Facebook pages.
Prospectus
We will soon be in a position to offer out a prospectus to any interested parties within or outside our immediate geographical area, detailing how people can purchase shares in the Community pub, how that will work, and how donations can be made towards our fundraising. We have a target of £450,000 which will cover the purchase price of the property freehold, necessary fixtures and fittings, legal and surveying costs as well as additional funds providing working capital and a contingency fund.
With no grant options currently available to help our cause, every share sold and donation made will go a long way to help us achieve the purchase of The Nags Head for our community.
