Our countryside is defined by its pubs, and the rate they are closing, usually to reap profits by converting the site to housing, is dangerously threatening to leave our country as interesting as a collection of rabbit hutches.

If there was one place I would move to from Highworth it would be there. I have based a lot of my activities around the canal and have ended up in the Three Tuns for Sunday Lunches, it is integral to the village and I have found the ambience exemplary. To lose a public house is a great shame as once they've gone they'll never come back. The public house is unique to the UK, other countries have bars or cafes the Pub is part of our culture

Much used by canal users and visitors alike. Losing this would be detrimental to the ambience of the village. Also it would mean services would be restricted with only one pub. Visitors will diminish. Local people will again have fewer places from which to choose. I can't believe this option for residential housing has even been considered.

Allow the pub to wither and a significant part of what makes Great Bedwyn special will also die.

The village and surrounding area is not short of large houses for residential use, it is however short on facilities to bring the locals together - including decent pubs. To lose one of the two good pubs in the village would be a detrimental step to life in the village.

It's cosy and welcoming with good beer and a beautiful open fireplace. To turn this great pub into residential accommodation would be a crime. The other local pub is OK but is by no means a real local. Losing this would be another nail in the coffin of the great british pub, which is becoming a rarer thing by the week.

Not only has it bought employment to local teenagers but also over the years been a place of celebration and joy for so many people.

The Three Tuns was run very successfully by the previous husband and wife team, earning excellent reviews.

It is very odd that "one of Britain's best pubs" cannot be run profitably, especially in a thriving and growing community. It has always complemented the Cross Keys and would be a sad and permanent loss to the community.

Change of use is certainly not justified.

Had such effort been made, at least some serious commercial interest would by now have been received – especially given the pub’s past reputation (which, in good hands, could be restored). After all, other pubs with far less to offer are managing to survive. Proper effort to sell the Three Tuns as a public house should now be made – and be seen to be made – before any other action is considered.

No 'For sale' boards outside and any sale details are well hidden on obscure sites.
As far as I can see, the intention to change from business use to residential use is more in keeping with present owner's personal circumstances rather than any consideration towards the community's wishes.
I am convinced that this pub is still potentially a viable concern in the right hands - note 'The Swan's' success!
Suspicious? Moi?

The pub represents the last communal area for people to meet each other, rather than abiding in secluded segregation.
