A PUB near a Herefordshire town which has "stood derelict" for six years is forging ahead with fundraising so it can reopen.

The Radnor Arms, near Kington, closed down in 2016 but, in the years since, the village and surrounding area have clubbed together to purchase the building for the community.

Following the closure, by the order of environmental health, in the spring of 2016, the group produced a report on the pub and its future and called a village meeting.

Now, the community working to return the Radnor Arms Hotel in New Radnor to life has announced a series of upcoming events which everyone is invited to join.
