Ms Goode told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “The community pub is a great opportunity for our village, and I have found myself working with an incredible team who are dedicated to bringing something great to Wroxall.”
She added: “I think the community has experienced a lot of uncertainty and it’s time to bring back some positivity, unity and a place to get together.”
The CBS framework was selected because it grants local people membership, a voice in decision-making, and the chance to participate directly in the pub’s future.
According to figures from the Campaign for Real Ale, community-owned pubs boast a remarkable 95 per cent survival rate.
