The owners of the property, Hall and Woodhouse closed it some time ago, citing declining trade and anti social behavioural problems with some customers.
They now plan to sell the site, possibly for a care home or alternatively a largely residential development.
We took Theresa May to see the site when she visited Mid Dorset last month.
The Lytchett Minster and Upton Community Association (LUCA) are opposing the plans, hoping to persuade Hall and Woodhouse to retain a pub, restaurant or coffee shop in the middle of the town, there being no other place for people to meet and socialise.
A public meeting to discuss the plans and public opposition will be held on Friday evening (May 30th) at 8pm in the Upton Community Centre. I'll be there to say a few words. Come along if you can.
