A landlord who put up posters banning travellers from his Cambridge pub has been sacked and the venue is now closed.Travellers in the region were appalled when the signs were put up on the main entrance doors of The Grove in Arbury Road, Arbury, stating: “No travellers your (sic) still barred.”
The closure of the pub means Arbury residents now have no local pub, with the nearest being the Jenny Wren in St Kilda Avenue. The Carlton Arms, in Carlton Way, is still closed following the fire that gutted it last year.
The Grove’s signs were criticised as being “racist” and “disgusting”. A member of the travelling community, who wished to remain anonymous, took pictures of them over the weekend and said they were taken down after he was spotted.
