‘Save Our Pubs’ calls on readers to nominate their favourite local and explain in 250 words why their pub is the cornerstone of their local community, with five lucky pubs to be chosen from across Britain, says The Telegraph.
This year, The Telegraph has been campaigning to save Britain’s pubs, chronicling the economic pressures crippling the hospitality industry and featuring personal stories from landlords in a series called ‘Last Orders.’
Pubs that have been open for centuries are now crumbling as a direct result of cuts to rates relief and high taxes from the current government, with an average of four pubs per day closing, leaving towns and villages robbed of vital pillars of their communities.
Readers have until 11th April to nominate their local pub, The Telegraph continued. Winners will be chosen by expert judges and announced on 25th April. The five winning pubs will celebrate with the £5,000 drinks tab on The Telegraph’s National Pub Day on 16th May. Further details on the campaign and how to enter can be found here.
