There are calls for West Yorkshire pubs to open up more freely

Yesterday (10th May) Boris Johnson confirmed that pubs and restaurants will open up indoors from the 17th May.

Peter Down the chairman of Bradford Campaign for Real Ale said:

"Under the step 3 restrictions, the rule of 6 will apply, so obviously they won't be able to trade as freely, as without any restrcitions.

"We already know of some pubs that haven't survived, they've already closed down as a result of the restrictions. If they went on for much longer, chances are we'd find many others too.

"We're in a much better position than last summer, there should be the opportunity to open us more quickly, more freely."
