Key Facts: 

1. The Morden Tavern development will have houses, flats & some shop units.
2. A bar/pub or restaurant will remain on the site.
3. The Morden Tavern Group hopes to form a co-operative to rent the bar with community shares.
4. There is an approved business plan & many potential investors.
5. The Morden Tavern Group has applied for it to be registered as an ‘Asset of Community Value’. This would enable the community to bid for a unit on the site.
