The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Pubs aims to promote and campaign for the interests of pubs, landlords and the communities around these pubs.

The Pubs APPG now wants to know what the Government should be doing to protect the future of pubs as the heart of their communities, and what support they will need to thrive as they emerge from the Covid-19 crisis.

Henry said: “Crawley is home to some fantastic pubs and I know just how much they mean to us.

“The Pubs APPG wants to give the Government clear recommendations on what pubs and communities will need in the future, and I hope that people across Crawley will take part in this inquiry.”

The first stage of the inquiry runs until May 21. To take part, visit the Pubs APPG website or send evidence to [email protected].
