Locals RUN their locals, CAMRA Good Beer Guide reveals

16th September 2010, 11:15am

CAMRA has launched its Good Beer Guide 2011 today (16 September) and it applauds the growing trend of community owned pubs.

The information comes after recent reports revealed that 39 pubs are facing closure every week.

CAMRA say the news means that tight-knit communities are helping each other to save their local pubs from closure.

The seven community pubs that appear in the 2011 Good Beer Guide include: Red Lion, The Green, Preston, Hertfordshire; New Inn, Shipton Gorge, Dorset; Star Inn, Higher Broughton, Salford and Angel Inn, Grosmont, Gwent.
