Why are pubs closing?
Pubs are closing for various reasons, including rising costs, changing social habits, and competition from supermarkets. The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) highlights the significant number of closures, with 794 pubs already shut this year. The new law aims to slow this trend by giving pubs more time to find a new owner before developers can convert them.
