Another dead pub, courtesy of Scottish Labour

This is the Abergavenny Arms, Rodmell, just down the road from Lewes. It was a really good little community pub with real ale and food, welcoming to families. Now it's a dead pub. Rodmell's villagers are fighting to save their only pub, and a "save our local" campaign has been set up, but if they don't succeed then we will have to chalk this up as a victory for Temperance Darling and Presbyterian Brown.
