Has anyone actually seen any work going on since the pub was secured with shutters etc?

I am starting to worry that the application for planning permission, and flashy announcement that a substantial amount of money was about to be spent was a distraction to take some of the momentum out of the great campaign that was started to list the pub as a community asset.

Punch Taverns as a company are in serious trouble - see any of the stories here for background on why, and generally pessimistic prospects for the company: http://www.theguardian.com/business/punchtaverns

My fear is that when the company is broken up, the assets will be sold off and unless something has been done, the pub will turn into another bunch of flats.

Can anyone from the campaign group comment on what's happened since the initial flurry of activity? Thanks in advance.
