Celia Barlow MP supports CAMRA campaign

Labour MP for Hove and Portslade, Celia Barlow, has offered her support to a campaign run by CAMRA – The Campaign for Real Ale.

The campaign involves the promotion of the interests of Britain’s pub goers and well-run community pubs and the supports of the rebalancing of alcohol taxation.

Celia Barlow’s commitment to CAMRA’s Beer Drinkers and Pub Goers Charter comes after the organisation’s popular Sussex Beer Festival at Hove Town Hall last weekend.

“I am proud to be speaking up for community pubs, local brewers and consumers,” said Barlow. “Well-run pubs are the bedrock of community life – they are part of the solution to the problem of alcohol misuse and not part of the problem. They deserve our support.”

Mike Benner, CAMRA’s Chief Executive, added: “We are delighted that Celia Barlow has promised to work to promote the interests of beer drinkers and pub goers. Well-run pubs make a huge contribution to community life, each of which injects £80,000 into their local economy every year. Amid growing concern over the loss of more than 5 pubs a day, it is now more important than ever to support well-run community pubs, to promote local brewers and to protect the interests of consumers.”
