How Important Is Your Local Pub to You?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

The government is about to tell us how it's going to support struggling pubs. So we want to know - how important is your local pub to you? Pubs are finding it harder to make money. Costs and bills are going up, we go out less at night and we don't drink as much as we used to. Lots of pubs are diversifying - trying different ways to make money and serve local communities. Is that the case where you are? How often do you visit a local pub? If you don't go, what's stopping you? Get in touch on [email protected], and please include a number so we can give you a call back. And after 11am on Tuesday 27 January, you can call our phone lines on 03700 100 444. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
