Seven out of 10 pubs could close this winter unless they get urgent government support to combat soaring energy bills, Parklife and Warehouse Project founder Sacha Lord has said.
Greater Manchester's night time economy advisor said hospitality businesses were currently 'sat in limbo' ahead of a planned Government announcement.
Mr Lord has called on Prime Minister Liz Truss to share a long-term support plan for businesses after she announced a sixth month support pledge. The new plans to tackle soaring energy bills across the UK include a cap on domestic, household bills at £2,500 for the next two years from October while businesses are to receive an 'equivalent guarantee', but only for half a year.
