Halton Council has approved plans to convert the Tunnel Top pub into a four-bedroom house with a bar and gym
Dutton: Big news for the Tunnel Top pub! Halton Council has given the green light to turn it into a four-bedroom house. It’ll even have a bar, gym, and games room. Sounds pretty cool, right?
This pub used to be a local favorite, winning awards back in 2013. But it closed down in 2017 after struggling with burglaries and competition from other pubs. It’s a shame because it was a great spot for a pint and even sponsored a kids’ football team!
Planning documents mentioned that the pub faced break-ins and that security measures just weren’t enough. The owners had been living there since 2018 to keep it safe, but now they’ve decided to make it their home for good.
The new plans show a nice setup with four bedrooms, an office, and a games room. They also want to keep the bar area, which is a nice touch. Unfortunately, it looks like the pub scene in the area just isn’t what it used to be.
So, while it’s sad to see the Tunnel Top go, at least it’ll be transformed into something new and useful!
