Local pub Montague Arms is in a fierce battle with the local Lewisham council after a wild riot last night. Montague arm Pub goers feared for their lives yesterday after a group of yobs decided to ruin a peaceful quiz night. Pub Owners Pub owner Patrick “Paddy” Phillips, 50, is fighting for the pub to stay open saying that it is the “Heart of the community”. A gang of 11 hooligans aged between 18 and 24 were seen to be making trouble with the regular pub goers. A witness said “We were all just enjoying our usual quiz night when these lads came and were causing havoc”. Lewisham Council say that The Montague Arms has become a harbor for anti social behavior and do not want it to continue. Lewisham council representative Bushri Brown says “Lewisham council understand that this pub is important to the community but the trouble that follows this place is unbelievable and frankly unacceptable”
Campaigners have been fighting for the boozer to stay open as three pubs have already been closed down in the area. “We will have no local pubs in this area if they shut down this one” says community leader Paige Dobson “This pub has been around for over 100 years, it must not shut down and we will fight to the end for this one”
Montague Arms have been around for over 100 years and the local community will do anything to keep it open. Paddy says that the rioters that came into the pub last night is not a common thing. “This is the first time this has happen this small event should not be the reason for closure” Tomorrow pub goers are going to protest outside the pub whilst paddy and Lewisham council discuss the future of Montague Arms"
