If she will take steps to bring back into use the vacant Duke of Bridgewater pub on the Crown Estate in Stoke-on-Trent North constituency.

Reply

This property is subject to escheat, meaning it is effectively ownerless. The only action that the Crown Estate may take in relation to such property is to dispose of it to an appropriate person or body. The Crown Estate is currently in touch with Stoke-on-Trent City Council regarding proposed future disposals of the property.
