Our community benefit society

A long-term home for Oakley’s last pub

Oakley Parish Council purchased the Chandos Arms in 2021. OVPL now holds a fifty-year lease, providing responsible stewardship while the pub itself serves the village as a welcoming place to eat, drink, meet and celebrate.

“Open and available to all members of our community in perpetuity.”
