Lexton community aiming to keep the doors open at local pub

The Lexton community are rallying around their beloved pub, the Pyrenees Hotel, after its sudden closure last month.

Residents are holding a town hall meeting on Sunday afternoon, where they’ll determine the interest in a community buy-out of the town’s only pub.

The group, Friends of the Pyrenees Hotel, says the aim is to have the ownership spread across a broad shareholder base so the hotel can be operated for many years to come.

The pub shut its doors on January 12th, with several locals showing up to support the business on its final day of trading.
