CALLS FOR GOVERNMENT TO CUT ONE OF PUB SECTOR'S MOST 'CRUSHING COSTS' OR FACE 230 CLOSURES IN OUR REGION AND 2,000 NATIONALLY

'This scale of pub closures would be a wrecking ball for the economy, job market, and for our communities...

THE West Midlands, including Staffordshire, could lose approximately five pubs a week, according to new research from the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA).

Across the region, a total of 230 pubs - the equivalent of 1,009 jobs — could close next year unless the Government cuts one of the sector's biggest costs, the BBPA warns.

The trade association said that the sector is heading into a “perfect storm” in 2026, driven by the planned withdrawal of business rates relief and the upcoming revaluation of business properties, both leading to even higher bills.
