Pubs Minister John Healey today announced a 12 point action plan to give practical support to community pubs up and down the country, backed by £4million in government funding.
New help will include £3.3million for business support to make pubs more successful and help communities buy into struggling pubs to keep them running. Business support is also in place for struggling membership clubs, “beer ties” will be slashed, and a consultation is underway on proposals to cut the requirement for music licences in certain venues.

Councils will also be given new powers through the planning system to intervene before a pub is demolished, giving a pause in the system for the local community to have their say. Restrictions on sales which prevent premises continuing as pubs will be also banned. The planning laws will allow pubs to branch out their business without planning permission into new commercial ventures, ranging from restaurants to gift shops and books shops, without the additional expense and time of seeking approval from the council.
The measures will give landlords the opportunity to have direct access to specialist, tailored business advice through ‘Pub is the Hub’, currently a voluntary support service for community pubs. Government funding of more than £1million will ensure that the group act as a specialist first-stop shop for advice on business support and diversification. Pub is the Hub will act as a gateway to advice, supporting pubs directly or passing them on to the most appropriate service such as Business Link.
In Leicestershire this support could be combined with our Vibrant Villages scheme through either our retail support grant or the
community spaces grant For further information about Vibrant Villages please e-mail:fiona.walker@leics.gov.uk « Less

Leicestershire County Council are setting up a web of IT minded individuals who are volunteering some of their time to help others on a PC or on the web.
We have had a really good turnout for other areas of Leicestershire, as you can see in the picture, but still need volunteers in and around the Melton district.
As your reward for helping others, you get a free course with the Leicestershire Adult Learning, the use of the latest IT equipment, free training and the other benefits that come from volunteering your time. Full details of what we are doing can be found at www.learningleicestershire.org.uk. More »
Please contact me if you are interested as training is due to take place next week.
Thanks, Nathan - 07729977007 - nathan@askrevill.com « Less
