The Magdala pub

• HAMISH Hunter bemoaned in his letter that the Magdala Tavern would remain “empty and not in use” following the rejection of the planning application to build more flats in the upstairs function room, (I’d like to see the Magdala reopen as a pub, March 21).

He will be pleased to note that a licensing application to reopen the Magdala has already been submitted to Camden Council.

This is excellent news. It goes to show that our local councillors, Maria Higson, Oliver Cooper and Stephen Stark, along with our wonderful, supportive, community, really can make a difference.
