70% of pubs want smoking ban lifted, says survey - General news - Smoking - Morning Advertiser

More than 70% of pub operators want the smoking ban to be lifted, according to a new survey by pro-choice organisation freedom2choose.
The survey, which interviewed 570 licensees across England, found that only 8% wanted a full ban but 72% were in favour of a separate smoking room.
Statistics from the survey suggest that smoking customers still hold significance in pubs, with approximately 37% of all licensees believing that three quarters or more of their customers were smokers.

A total of 90% of core customers in Northern and Midland pubs are also said to be smokers.

However, the survey represents just over 1% of the UK pub market.

Cultural consultant Dr Ruth Cherrington said: "There is plenty of room for change within this law, which would ensure a fairer 'playing field' for all and a virtual cessation of pub closures."

London Property News: Craft beer pub to open near Euston Station

Overseas property buyers in London are set to receive a warm welcome to the capital with the opening of a unique beer house at Euston Station.

Those considering renting a pub in London might be inspired by the plans to redevelop the Grade-II listed West Lodge, which is situated in the main square of the station, the Publican reports.

Opening next month, the Euston Tap will serve craft beers sourced from around the world.

Jonathan Dalton of Bloomsbury Leisure Group - the company behind the London property development scheme - told the news source: "Network Rail see it as a gateway to the station but were looking at having a Starbucks which would have been horrendous.

"Instead we will transform this beautiful building into a spectacular venue," he said, adding that the two-level Euston Tap will feature American-style beer taps on the back wall rather than in their traditional spot at the bar.

Meanwhile, plans for a high-speed rail link between Euston and Birmingham are under fire after residents of London's Primrose Hill raised concerns that their property prices could fall as a result of the development work.

Number of licensed premises at record high as traditional pubs shut down | Mail Online

An explosion in the number of late-opening supermarkets and bars has left ‘binge Britain’ with the largest number of premises licensed to sell alcohol.

There are now 166,000 venues allowed to sell drink, many open long beyond the traditional 11pm closing time.

It is the equivalent of one licensed outlet for every 280 adults in England and Wales.
Police have blamed late-opening bars, corner shops and supermarkets for the rowdy behaviour and violence blighting the nation’s streets.

Drink up: The number of licenced premises, including pubs, clubs and off-licences, has now hit 202,000
At the same time, there are around 30 traditional pubs closing every week.
Critics said Labour’s 24-hour drinking laws – which were supposed to introduce a continental-style ‘cafe culture’ – had sounded the death knell for the pub. Instead, drinkers are consuming cheap supermarket alcohol – often sold at a loss – at home or on street corners.
