The MP for Filey has launched a best pub competition.
Kevin Hollinrake, whose patch also covers Malton and Thirsk, says it's a tough time for pubs with recent tax rises:
There's been a significant drop in numbers of public houses in the UK since 1980.
The number of pubs, in the country, has decreased from 69,000, 25 years ago, to just 46,805 today.
The Shadow Secretary of State for Housing, Levelling Up and Communities added:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
