The respective teams behind two Nottingham pubs have reassured customers that they are not going anywhere. It comes after Nottingham City Council approved decisions to sell the freehold of The Navigation Inn, in Wilford Street at Castle Lock, and The Hole in The Wall, in North Sherwood Street.
Reviewing all council-owned assets was one of the key priorities of the latest Together for Nottingham Plan, as the council works to balance its books and find additional funds to stave off government intervention, in the form of commissioners. However, the teams who run the two pubs - who each lease the pubs from Admiral Taverns, which has 1,600 pubs across the UK under their operational umbrella - say they are not worried.
The owners of The Hole in the Wall, Drew Grimshaw and Chris Robertson, a pub which reopened last year, moved to reassure customers the pub is still trading. They said: "We want to reassure all our customers that we still going to be open and continue to trade for the foreseeable future.
