Inn on the Green’s Tina Alkaff and Dave Pitts
Inn on the Green closed
It’s with a heavy heart that Golborne Life reports that after six fun-packed years the Inn on the Green has closed, at least for now. The Westway Trust has shut the business after the Inn experienced financial problems.
Golborne Forum Chair Susie Parsons commented on the news, “The Inn on the Green is a great community space and a key local meeting point. Let’s hope that a way can be found to keep it going.”
In fact, the Inn has always been much more than just a business. Over the years, its hosted numerous community activities, provided the neighbourhood’s friendliest social venue and hosted a huge variety of innovative arts and musical events.
Proprietors Dave Pitts and Tina Alkaff –
interviewed in 2006 by Golborne Life in happier days – still hope that there will be a future for the venue. The Westway Trust have indicated that they still want to work with Dave and Tina, albeit in a curtailed form.
You can express your support for Dave and Tina and the Inn on the Green by reading the statement on the
front page of the Inn’s website and signing the petition.
