THE Village Inn in Leigh is set to close next month. But punters need not fear -- for the pub is being refurbished. Landlady Lee Hayes, 46, is closing the pub from July 1 to 21, after admitting the place had gone "from rack to ruin." She said: "We've tried our best to keep it looking okay, but it's fallen into a bad state. We're going to blend modern fittings with an old English style, and the beer garden will be revamped."
