March 2010: Pub Survey - Landlords tell it like it is and backed up by latest survey undertaken by GMB

The pub survey launched by Lib Dem campaigner Emily Gasson earlier this year has shown up a number of factors that publicans across the district believe could be putting their pubs in jeopardy. The survey results are in line with those in a survey of 3,000 publicans nationwide carried out by the GMB. More information on the GMB survey can be found on the BBC News website

BBC News/Business/Pubs Survey.

Responses to Emily's survey of pubs in North Dorset suggest that cut-price supermarket alcohol and tied deals are having more of an effect during this recession and more people are socialising at home.

Most of the publicans who responded to the survey also said that their pubs host a number of diverse activities and act as hubs of their communities
