The latest worries come as a rural pub in south Shropshire - The Plough, at Wall Under Heywood, near Church Stretton - looks set to be converted into a house after the owners said it is time to call it a day despite their best efforts.
Mr Porter said:"We welcome the decision to cancel the planned rise in alcohol duties, the introduction of a draught beer duty rate and the six-month cap on energy prices for non-domestic properties."Christopher and Rosemary Thomas, the owners of The Plough, at Wall Under Heywood, have applied to Shropshire Council to change its use into residential.Mr Porter said:"Shrewsbury and West Shropshire branch regrets the permanent closure of The Plough at as a pub.
Nik Antona, the national chair of Camra, said"Licensees and pub goers will also want to see the energy cap extended for a two-year period for hospitality businesses, mirroring the household support scheme, to make sure our local pubs can survive and thrive in the months and years ahead." They say The Plough has"suffered a trading loss each of the last eight years" and is now effectively closed.
They add that latest national pub closure figures for first six months of 2022 have doubled, averaging 19 per week, 485 in total, compared with nine per week, 254 in the second half of 2021.
