A group in Mawbray is celebrating an amazing milestone after having their offer accepted on a building that they want to retain for the community. The Lowther Arms Community Project (LACP) has been working for months to raise the funds necessary in order to buy the Lowther Arms pub, at the heart of the village. Chairman of the LACP, Chris Atkinson said: “We’re obviously delighted that our offer has been accepted, subject to contract, and we now look forward to completing the sale as soon as we can. “This has all been possible thanks to the wonderful generosity of all our supporters and 264 shareholders, and the whole community can now look forward to the pub re-opening as ‘More Than A Pub’.
