Jonathan Chatfield meeting local publican

Jonathan Chatfield met Mick Rayment of The Bell Balsham to discuss how Mick copes with the red tape

Jonathan Chatfield the Liberal Democrats' candidate for South East Cambridgeshire in the General Election is supporting the "I'm backing the pub" campaign, by the British Beer & Pub Association and the Society of Independent Brewers which is also supported by the CBI, Visit Britain and the Campaign for Real Ale.

Jonathan Chatfield said:

"I have already met a number of local publicans to hear how they are coping with the current difficult times and in particular the bureaucracy and red tape hoisted on them by the Labour government.

"I agree with the British Beer & Pub Association and the Society of Independent Brewers that pubs are an essential part of the social and economic heart of local communities.

"And I share their concern that dozens of rural pubs are closing every week.

"I should urge everyone to give their support to the "I'm backing the pub" campaign."
