Rejected petition Support and protect pubs and publicans

Recognise pubs vital role and offer fair support ,taxation and trading terms

More details

Local pubs are vital for community, mental health, youth employment, and local charity support. Unfair competition with supermarkets, rising costs, and lack of tailored support are forcing closures. Many of us have invested decades into this trade . Without urgent help, a historic British institution is at risk of disappearing. We urge the Government to act now to support, protect, and fairly represent pubs and publicans across the UK.
