Owners of Crooked House told to rebuild

The owners of The Crooked House pub have been ordered to rebuild "Britain's wonkiest inn" after it was destroyed last year in a suspected arson attack.

South Staffordshire Council has served an enforcement notice on the owners of the pub in Himley, near Dudley.

The council said it had engaged with the owners since the demolition but had reached a point where formal action was considered necessary.

It requires the building to be built back to what it was prior to the fire.

The pub's owners have 30 days to appeal and the notice must be complied with within three years.

The pub caught fire on 5 August in a suspected arson attack and was demolished two days later.

Ian Sandall is from the campaign group to Save the Crooked house and gave his reaction.
