Pub's continue to suffer across Bexley

The number of pubs across the county has continued to decline in recent years, with the borough of Bexley being no exception as more establishments in the area face the axe.

Since the Labour government won power in 1997 a total of 3,500 pubs have been closed across the country with 210 coming from the Kent area. And according to figures from the Valuation Office Agency, there are now only 1,870 pubs in Kent compared with 2,080 in 1997.
