938: Pubs
This paper is summarised from an ACRE Briefing ‘Pubs – the situation and their future in rural areas’
Year of Publication2009
Legislation, cheap beer in supermarkets, the recession, changes in rural communities and changing tastes and interests are closing about 54 rural pubs a month. Some pubs have been re-invigorated by extending their businesses into shops and post offices, doing school meals and being taken over by the community but policy changes which recognise their role as local amenities are needed if they are to have a brighter future.
