I AM writing to congratulate the new owners of The Seven Stars public house at Winsley for returning it to village pub status instead of a barely open, naff restaurant.

On two recent visits I was pleased to be greeted by a happy, sociable atmosphere and I met villagers I had not seen for ages.

A big well done to Richard and his hard working staff, long may it continue with the support of locals and visitors alike.
