Community Supported

A campaign in 2015 led to the community takeover and the pub reopened in 2017, with a local group who formed a Community Benefit Society (The Amp Community Pub Limited) taking a leased from pub owners Heineken Star Pubs. However, in 2023 the community group ran into financial difficulties and had to give up the lease.
