Tories promise licensing law and planning rule review for pubs, clubs within 100 days, addressing pandemic and rising cost closures.
The Tories have pledged to focus on pubs and clubs within the first 100 days of a new government, promising a review of licensing laws and planning rules aimed at boosting pubs, restaurants, and music venues. They plan to cut "red tape" for businesses in the sector and consider creating a ministerial position. This follows the closure of 400 nightclubs between 2020 and 2023, with hundreds of pubs and clubs also shutting down due to the pandemic and rising costs.
