your exactly right free houses are the way forward but while the breweries are allowed to shut pubs down and sell on with covenants to say they cannot be open as a pub again then this will never happen

some of the pubs shut in hyndburn could be open as free houses but for the breweries not allowing them to be done and sold only for redevleopment

the government should step in and not allow this to happen if the brewerie sell a building then it should be able to be bought and run as a free house as did the peel park a num,ber of years ago and that seems to be doing well now
