"We’re backing British pubs with additional support, and our new High Streets Strategy will help tackle the long-term challenges that our much-loved retail, leisure and hospitality businesses have faced. "Thriving local businesses, bustling high streets and pride restored in our communities – that’s what this government is delivering.”
