A fundraiser to take over a village pub is almost a quarter of the way to its total.
The community in Pant is hoping to buy the Cross Guns – the village's last remaining public house – and is aiming to raise £348,000.
A share scheme was launched earlier this month, allowing individuals to become a part-owner in the business bidding to purchase the pub.
It has so far taken the total raised to £75,050.
But the share scheme only has a month to raise the total amount and demonstrate that the community can purchase and operate the building.
A recent Facebook post from the campaign group said: "So far, we have collectively raised just over £75,000.

"We are still a long way from the total, but something we should all be proud of as a community.
"Please consider investing in a community-owned Cross Guns."
Each share costs £1 with a minimum purchase of 250 shares, while the maximum shareholding per individual member is £25,000.
If they are unable to buy the pub, those who have invested will be refunded in full.

The pub closed its doors to the public in October 2024 and since then, Admiral Taverns, which owns the building, has been trying to find a new landlord to take it on.
