Dozens of protesters have taken to the streets of Findern today to demonstrate against the closure of the Wheel Inn, the last pub in the village. Residents in Findern organised a march and a pop-up-pub. The owner of the Wheel Inn in Findern, Murray's Funeral Directors, of Burton, has been granted permission to convert the building into a funeral parlour. The pub was closed in April and since then residents have campaigned to highlight their plight. A spokeswoman for Murray's refused to comment. The company had previously said: "Unfortunately the Wheel Inn failed to be a viable business a long time before the doors were finally closed by Punch Taverns. It is a great pity the Save the Wheel Campaign was not active during the 18 months Punch were trying to sell their pub."
