There are few institutions so central to Britain’s community life as the local pub. This project explores the prospects for Britain’s community pubs.

In particular this project will do three things:

  • Audit the health of the community pub trade in the UK.
  • Sets out why community pubs matter and why we should be so concerned about the rising rate of pub closures.
  • Make the case for a more active role for government and other actors in supporting community pubs and recommends a number of policy changes that should help secure the future of Britain’s community pubs in the years ahead.
