Good afternoon,

As the infection rate continues to rise, the introduction of more measures across the country has felt inevitable.

How do you feel about the prospect of pubs closing?

While the Government considers which new measures should be introduced and where, many reports today point to the closure of pubs as the most likely next step in the north of England - and from as early as next week.

Rightly, there are concerns that such a move would be catastrophic for many hospitality businesses.

Personally, I've not visited the pub since they reopened - have you?

If you have, how safe have you found the experience, and would you agree that pubs should be closed?

Some good news...
