Cade Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 After the scandal of the Crooked House pub being closed down, set on fire then demolished all within a week or so, the county council have ordered the entire structure to be rebuilt, brick for brick. Multiple arrests have been made on various charges, from arson to insurance fraud to illegal demolition, perverting the course of justice and various health&safety breaches.

henrysmithsgloves Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 They will have no problems hiring "trades men" to rebuild it, going by the builders I've hired in the past😳 most of their best work is wonky at the best of times🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If carlsberg did rivals... Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Would it not be difficult to build something wonky and safely at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellczech Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Will they sue if it turns out straight? I reckon the couple will just ignore the order and then the Council will be like "um how do we enforce this?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, hammer the owners for for the illegal demolition, insurance fraud, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 If the order is ignored the council will impose heavy financial punishments until the order is carried out. A demolished pub in London was completely rebuilt under similar circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter if the owners ignore the council order, as either way it's going to cost them a fortune. Ignore the order and they'll never be able to do anything with the land such as build anything else on it or even sell it whilst the order is in place or they have to build a new wonky building, either way the owners are screwed and even more so if charges are brought. Whatever plans they had for the land literally went up in smoke the day the pub burnt down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a tourist landmark or something ? Looked more like a potential death-trap. The owners should definitely be prosecuted for insurance fraud/theft and any other council orders & laws they ignored before they demolished it though.

I strolled past it a good few years back. It's been there 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
