Most pubs will not reopen on April 12 because they have not got enough outdoor space to make it financially viable, an industry boss has claimed.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the BBPA, told BBC Breakfast that reopening will be a ‘loss-making’ exercise for many business owners.Advertisement‘Being outdoors will be a huge restriction on capacity – only 40% of venues will have the outdoor space to get opened.’ ‘For many pubs, gardens are at the back and the only way to access them is through the inside. And of course, toilet facilities would still need to be provided.
The BBPA has called for pubs to be able to reopen fully, inside and outside, alongside non-essential retail and beer gardens on April 12, Sky reports.
