Ruth Edwards is today launching her new ‘Best Pub in Rushcliffe’ competition.
The competition focuses on highlighting how important pubs are to local communities and how we can best support them as we emerge from the pandemic.
Ruth is asking residents across Rushcliffe to vote for their favourite pub by going to https://www.ruthedwards.org.uk/news/best-pub-rushcliffe-2021.
The pub with the most votes will take first prize. There will also be two runners-up positions so every vote counts! Ruth will be announcing the winners alongside the winners of her Best Local Shop Award 2021 on Small Business Saturday (4/12/21).
Ruth is writing to pub owners and landlords, asking them to fill in a survey on how their business has been affected by the pandemic and to assess the effectiveness of the various Government COVID support packages, and the recent support announced in this year’s Autumn Budget, such as the 5% tax cut to pints pulled in pubs across the UK.
The results of this survey will feed into the Government’s approach on how to support pubs as we continue to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and inform decisions in the future.
Ruth said: “I am so pleased to be launching my Best Pub in Rushcliffe Competition. Pubs are a vital part of local communities and we have a fantastic network of them throughout Rushcliffe.
I’m asking people across Rushcliffe to join me in the hunt for Rushcliffe’s best pub by voting for favourite pub here: https://www.ruthedwards.org.uk/news/best-pub-rushcliffe-2021”
