Pub escapes conversion into house following sale );
ONE of Whitchurch’s two pubs has been saved from conversion into a house.
The Greyhound in High Street has been sold to Oak Taverns, a family-run operator based in Thame which owns 13 other premises, including the Red Lion at Chinnor and four breweries.
Punch Taverns put the pub on the market about six months ago, saying it was no longer viable.
The asking price was dropped from £675,000 plus VAT to £495,000 shortly before the sale was completed.
Several parties expressed an interest but Oak was the only one not seeking a residential conversion.
Voltia to deliver 30 Nissan e-NV200 for DPD
Voltia has received an order from DPD in Slovakia for 30 Nissan e-NV200 XL in the ten cubic metre version. In a new leasing model, the electric transporters are to be cheaper for DPD than diesel vehicles.
The converter Volta had only introduced the ten-cubic-metre version of the Nissan e-NV200 XL in March 2021. This is 28 cm higher and offers 2.2 instead of 1.9 metres of loading space height with the same vehicle width and payload. According to Voltia, the load space is up to 1.50 metres wide, with a maximum of 1.22 metres between the wheel arches. The vehicle is supposed to be able to load up to three Euro pallets. Part of the higher cargo capacity, however, is in the 1.35-metre-deep porch above the driver’s cab. With the raised superstructure, the ten-cubic-metre version is 2.70 metres high in total.

Stock markets around the world started the year quite strongly, with indices very close to record highs. Even ‘out of favour’ equity markets like Japanâs have seen strong performance recently as the Nikkei 225 index rose above 30 000 for the first time since 1990.
Financial markets performed reasonably well throughout 2020, behaving in a manner completely different from underlying economies. Starting the year, Stanlib identified the key factors that would influence investment markets. Economic growth was accelerating and, combined with low inflation, could provide solid support to financial markets. Central banks remained accommodative, which provided a strong tailwind.
