Community pubs are one of Britain’s oldest and most popular social institutions. However, they are currently under pressure, with 39 pubs now closing every week. This report assesses the social value of community pubs, showing why pubs matter and why we should be concerned about the current state of the pub trade.
This report outlines the connected factors that have played a role in the acceleration of pub closures in the past 2 years. It then provides recommendations that will provide greater support to the majority of well-run community pubs.
There is no one magic bullet that will simultaneously solve the problems facing Britain’s community pubs. However, taken as a whole, the package of measures recommended here should ensure that local pubs can continue to play a role in supporting community life for many generations to come.
