Brewing Communities: How we can create new towns that foster successful pubs, high-streets and flourishing neighbourhoods

This report serves as a call to action for policymakers, developers, and communities alike to prioritise the creation of vibrant, connected spaces where people can come together.

By championing the role of pubs in these developments, we can ensure that the communities of tomorrow are not just places to live and work but also places to belong.
