A PUB in Abingdon has closed ahead of planned refurbishment works.

Broad Face in Bridge Street shut earlier this month and an application for renovation works was lodged last week.

Pub retailer Greene King applied to Vale of White Horse District Council to redecorate the entire interior, repair timber floors that have been damaged by dry rot and completely re-furbish the toilets.

If approved, it will be the first time in nine years that the building has been refurbished.

The council has set a target decision date of August 17.
