Sandy Wyatt, the landlady of The Alderman pub, is facing uncertainty following the council's approval to bulldoze her establishment for a new housing development of 138 homes. Despite the approved plans, Wyatt has not received communication from the council regarding the demolition date, leaving her feeling uninformed and anxious. She expressed frustration that the only correspondence she received was a form for the new housing waiting list. The pub continues to operate, catering to customers who feel they have no alternative. A temporary pub replacement has been promised, but Wyatt remains skeptical about the council's commitment to follow through.
"I live here - so I'm losing my job and my home," Sandy said. "But they [the council] are not bothered. I found out about the demolition because I read it in the paper..."
"I'm just left in limbo like everybody else. I'd rather know when it's going so I can make plans myself."
"I think deep down we all know it was going to be approved, but the customers are quite shocked because they have nowhere else to go."
