A pub chain is still interested in coming to Halstead two years after reportedly offering on a post office depot.
Pub giant JD Wetherspoon confirmed they had not ruled out the town for a potential new pub but said they weren’t looking at any particular sites.
Landlords in the town raised their concerns back in 2012 when the chain allegedly bid to take over the Royal Mail depot in the High Street.
