🍺Forest of Dean Pubs – I Want to Hear from You!

Our pubs are the beating heart of life here in the Forest of Dean—they bring people together, support local musicians, and strengthen our local economy.

Following the recent Government consultation on how best to support British pubs, I want to hear directly from you: the landlords, customers, and people who know them best.

The Government is looking to tear up outdated licensing rules that have been holding back pubs, bars and local events. The shake-up could mean more live music, more street food, and fewer hoops to jump through for venues trying to deliver for their communities.

As your MP, I’m committed to taking the voice of the Forest to Westminster, and I know how important our local pubs are to us all.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be writing to pubs across the Forest and personally reaching out to hear their views on how I can best support them.

If you run, work in, or just want to show support for your local pub, please take a few minutes to share your thoughts:
