A petition has begun to save one of Buckinghamshire's best-loved cafés from closure.
It has already attracted over 2,500 signatures calling for Curiositea Rooms in Ivinghoe to stay open, after trustees of the Old School Community Hub voted against renewing its lease at its annual general meeting on Wednesday 22nd September 2021.
Here is what happened when Bucks Radio's visited the Cafe
The popular meeting spot has been run from the premises since 2013 by Hayley Wesley and Sven Tonks, who won praise from the community by delivering 83 school lunch parcels a day to local families throughout both lockdowns.
We asked The Trustees of the Old School Community Hub for an interview. They emailed this statement:
We would like to thank everyone for the feedback provided. The hub trustees do not propose to run a village shop as some have suggested, and will most definitely continue operating a cafe in these premises. We have decided not to renew the current commercial lease in order to ensure the hub cafe is run in a way which allows us to direct a maximum of funds back into the community we support.
