39 Pubs calling last rounds every week in Great Britain.
A record number of pubs are closing every week in Britain, highlighting the “extreme” economic pressures facing the industry, new figures have showed.
The Pub Association says,
A total of 39 pubs are shutting every week, three more than last year, including 19 in suburbs, eight in town centres and the rest in rural areas. Pub closures are a clear demonstration of the extreme financial and economic pressures facing the sector. At this time of deepening recession and rising unemployment, the Government should be actively looking at ways to support the community asset of the pub. They should not be introducing legislation that will condemn more pubs to closure and put more people out of work.
