Pattenmakers

Petition to protect the Pattenmakers Arms in Duffield from a 42% rent increase.

We want to keep the current Landlady, Claire Muldoon, and the successful staff team in place.

The Pattenmakers is a traditional, community local that means so much to so many.

Enterprise Inns are not only asking for a huge rent increase but also charge an exorbitant amount for thier beer, many products costing double compared to untied pubs.

The Pattenmakers don't want any special treatment, they just want the opportunity to run a business in a fair environment and to keep the community local going strong.

They are also nominated for Derby CAMRA Country pub of the year for the second year running.

Loosing the Pattenmakers would be a sad loss for the immediate and extended community.

Please help save the Pattenmakers and show your support by signing this petition. We intend to fight Enterprise Inns to the bitter end so every single signiture will highlight our plight.

Thankyou
