17/2/21 Long Live The Local - Petition to Cut Beer Tax
Model and publican, Jodie Kidd is making a final desperate plea to Chancellor Rishi Sunak, to cut Beer Duty in the upcoming Budget on 3rd March.
Jodie, who owns The Half Moon pub in Kirdford, West Sussex, first started petitioning Government for a cut in Beer Duty in 2018, when on average, three pubs a day closed their doors for good. Despite three long years of campaigning with Long Live The Local, almost 500,000 petition signatures and more than 250,000 people writing to their MP, the Government is yet to reduce Beer Duty, a tax which is three times higher in the UK than the average across the EU and 11 times higher than in Germany and Spain.
Recent data shows almost 2000 pubs closed their doors for good in 2020 – that’s five pubs every single dayPetition calling for Government to cut Beer Duty nears half a million signaturesJodie Kidd is supporting Long Live The Local’s campaign to cut Beer Duty to support Britain`s pubs and breweries.
