THE letter from Pete Gledhill about the Turf Tavern (Letter, July 27) brought to mind the development of Holgate Villas and the charitable organisations that will in the future be looking for a new home.

One must, however, thank the owner of Holgate Villas for providing accommodation for these charities and appreciate that the owner wishes to move on with plans for the hotel.

With this in mind, perhaps we could see an enterprising future for the Turf Tavern by accommodating some of these charities?
