The decline of the British local pub is an issue well-known to punters and policy-makers alike.

At Localis, we have been working with the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) for several years to produce policy reports focusing on the revitalisation of the pub sector. Our latest report, Inn-Valuable 2 – unlocking the social and economic value of our nation's pubs, was launched at the Labour Party Conference and seeks to place the policy challenges and opportunities in the context of the new political cycle.
