Disappointment for campaigners as Ritz looks set to be housing

Thursday 21st April 2011, 1:00PM BST.

St Saviour's Tavern closed in 2007.

The future of the former pub, known popularly as The Ritz, will be decided at Tuesday’s open planning meeting at which political members of the Environment Department will make the decision.

pb is that really you? I thought you had led the exodus to Rule Britannia in time for the royal wedding! If memory serves me correct, I don’t think he took much of a risk on this one – didn’t he transfer this to himself along with a number of other properties at a rather low valuation in 2007?

Please don’t knock pbfalla now that he seems to have realised that it’s much better to post sensible comments rather than that awful repetitive phrase he was going through
