To give an example, the Rose and Crown pub at Slaley (near Hexham) was threatened with closure. The locals formed a cooperative (Slaley Community Assets Limited) which purchased the pub and now runs it. I believe a similar situation occurred with the Jazz Café in Newcastle following the death of the owner.

wont that need funding?
