Care about pubs and want a ? Rally for pubco reform at Houses of Parliament on Wednesday 5th June. Please find me on twitter and retweet. Thank you.

Hello Way Inn Likers!

I'd like your help please to keep the profile of the Fair Deal For Your Local campaign high and ever present. We have one month left of the pubco consultation period and it’s really important that everyone takes part. Here are some things you can do:

Please go to the Fair Deal For Your Local page and “like” it.

https://www.facebook.com/FairDealForYourLocal

It’s important that the page has lots of “likers”. There are currently just over 400. We need to make sure everyone knows what is going on as there will be lots of things coming up. We want to show the govt (especially the Tories!!) and the industry (especially the pubcos!!) that there is lots of interest and support for the campaign and that we are an active force with an active voice and we want change!

Whether you are a publican or pubgoer, if you wish to support the campaign and would like more information to help you, you can get a campaign pack at this link:

Please add a Fair Deal For Your Local twibbon to your profile pic show that you support the campaign.

Please follow Fair Deal for Your Local on twitter and me . We will soon organise a specific time where we want all supporters to tweet and retweet posts with the hashtag so that we start trending on twitter and draw mass attention to the campaign.

Please also sign up to the Fair Deal For Your Local website:

Links to the Government consultation on pubco reforms are available on the FDFYL website and you can send in your own submission too. It is VITAL that people participate, whether you are current pubco tenants, former pubco tenants, or customers. EVERY contribution is important. Whether you run a pub, work in a pub or just enjoy going to the pub, EVERY piece of information and evidence you can supply on how you are being, or were, treated by your pubco, or how you think pubs should be treated, is essential.

We have fought for a chance to change things for years. By joining 'Licensees Supporting Licensees' I found support from many hundreds of publicans in the same position that I am in. I was honoured to be asked to represent the group at Parliament with 3 of my colleagues. We have now got our consultation. We have earned our place at the Government table. We cannot let this opportunity pass us by as we have ALL been asking for years for the chance to change how we have been treated. This is the time. We must not fail now. We cannot and must not get to the end of this consultation process and hear Ministers say “we didn’t get enough evidence from pubs or the public".

If you prefer to make your submission anonymously then do so, but please, please do the survey or send in your information to the consultation. Please do not let this opportunity for pubco reform become a missed opportunity.

If you want to send in a written submission please send it to Vince Cable at the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills on the following email address: [email protected]

We are also regularly submitting evidence to the national newspapers because they want to highlight how tenants, and therefore customers, are being ripped off. If you want to be part of this golden opportunity to change things, please get involved.

There are lots of things that we can all do. Thank you to everyone who has already helped in some way. If you haven’t had a chance to do anything yet please do it now. Do all, or do some, but please take part.

Thank you for your support.

Peter - Landlord, The Way Inn.
