Pub Closures

According to figures released by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), more than 10 pubs are closing across Britain every week. Some 300 community pubs - based in suburban and rural areas - permanently closed between September 2011 and March 2012. Despite Britain's high streets showing "resistance" - recording a net loss of six pubs during the six month period - about 12 pubs a week are closing in less built up areas.
