I read with interest your front page article last week regarding the future of the King's Head pub, only to be shattered by the final paragraph. I presume that Allied Property & Leisure Ltd is not good at mathematics as well as keeping previous promises regarding the future of the pub. The statement that the works should take no longer than four months and the King's Head will be open by Christmas proves the point. Why? How long is it until Christmas - three months and two weeks. Has the work started yet? No! I do sincerely hope that the pub is open for Christmas, but I have grave doubts.
