Yew Tree, Malin Bridge

The Yew Tree at Malin Bridge is to have a new outdoor drinking area. An initial scheme was rejected earlier this year because of the predicted noise and other disturbance for neighbours. Now ambitions have been scaled back to the satisfaction of the council although the proposed external drinking area is only slightly smaller, with fixed umbrellas. Proposals for seating booths, TV screens and floodlights have been dropped.
