Bob gets behind our locals by supporting the 'Proud of Pubs' campaign.

"Pubs are good!" is the message MP Bob Russell wants to extend.

As the publican magazine starts its 'Proud of Pubs' campaign, Bob looks at what we can do to support our locals. As a traditional place for socialising and building community spirit, it is important to protect this aspect of our culture.

With pubs facing increasing pressure from the current economic climate, we risk losing them altogether unless we actively show our support. So why not do your part and pop down for a quick pint?
