British Pubs Are Going Out Of Business On A Weekly Basis, Due To Various Economic Factors, But Is There A Way To Prevent This Happening?
Not too many years ago, throughout the UK, it felt like there was a pub on the corner of nearly every street, but more recently, changes in people’s social preferences, ever higher taxes on alcohol and better knowledge of the impact of excessive alcohol consumption have started to cause major problems in the industry.
A March 2011 report by the British Beer & Pub Association suggests that around the UK, approximately 25 pubs are going out of business on a weekly basis, and even though this figure is down from 40 per week a year ago, it is all the same a worrying trend. The average pub has around ten members of staff, so 250 people a week in the industry are threatened with unemployment, as well as the knock-on effect on the brewing industry if the market for their drinks reduces because of the closures. It is estimated that the pub and beer industry provides employment for approximately one million people in the UK and if pub failures go on happening at this rate, then far more jobs are at risk.
As mentioned above, an increasing number of people (especially in the present economic climate) are choosing to stay in rather than go out and sit in the pub, and with the (comparatively) cheaper prices charged for drinks in supermarkets, it’s no surprise. For the price charged for one glass of wine in a drinking establisment, it’s quite possible to purchase a whole bottle of the same product in a supermarket.
The health campaign for much higher prices for alcohol is an topic which splits opinions. On the one hand, if alcohol induced health problems are such a drain on public resources, then it could be debated that this is a reasonable move, but it will then penalise the large majority of people who simply like a pint of ale or a couple of glasses of wine with their dinner now and then. And, whilst there may be confirmation out there somewhere, I cannot find any data which says that the extra revenue raised from alcohol taxes is channelled specifically to the NHS to help them pay for treatment.
And sadly, although very well intended, spending a substantial amount of money on adult conceived advertising campaigns aimed at dissuading youngsters from drinking too much is more likely to be seen as dictating to them than offering genuine and sensible advice. For whatever reason alcohol will always be appealing for a lot of British youth and demonstating to them the results of being drunk won’t succeed any better than making adverts for Laser eye surgery to show them what they might have to have done in the future if they spend too much time on computers and games consoles now and do harm to their eyes.
For landlords who lease and manage a pub through with a brewery or pub management business, even more financial difficulties can crop up as the lease will usually specify that some or all of the stock for the pub must be supplied by the parent company, and it appears that usually the prices they will sell at are considerably higher than other suppliers, which means that the landlord has to sell the drinks at a inflated price, making the pub more pricey than other nearby pubs and quite likely losing customers to other local establishments which can obtain their supplies at a lower cost. Extra competition comes from the massive pub chains who can arrange large discounts on products for their whole network and who streamline their bar procedures with computerised tills and Laser eye barcode readers.
Interestingly, the areas which have the greatest number of pub closures are London and the North West of England, both regions of the country with large populations where it could be expected that there would be constant demand, although it could also be argued that regions with a lot of inhabitants will be worst hit with job reductions in a recession and this might go some way towards explaining the reasons for the present level of closures. It would be interesting to be able to check if these regions have seen a decrease in other non-essential spending – have car purchases reduced, is there less demand for cosmetic surgery or Laser eye treatment, are less people going to the cinema or theatre?
It is a shame to see a previously thriving and well frequented pub closed and up for sale. It is an even greater pity that most of them will be sold to developers who will either demolish them and build on the site, or strip out the interior of the property and make in into flats, offices or shops. Where you once went to socialise with your circle of friends for the evening, you may now be living, working, going shopping, paying a visit to the dentist or having your Laser eye surgery done – not really the same, is it?
