Redditch and Bromsgrove CAMRA members sat down with
Bromsgrove MP Sajid Javid in May to discuss CAMRA’s current campaigns. The
meeting was held at Clent Club which is just outside the village of Belbroughton,
and licensee Michelle was on hand with some excellent Wye Valley beers and discussed
the facilities and events that the club offers to the community. CAMRA members Andy
Checketts, Gez Quinn, Paul Richards, and Tim Craig addressed the sharp price of
rising energy bills for pubs and clubs and the difficulties that they are
facing as they attempt to recover from the pandemic restrictions and asked for
more support for local publicans so that local communities don’t lose their
valued pubs. Mr Javid recognised the importance of CAMRA’s work in the
community and commented on his time as Economic Secretary when he was influential
in abolishing the beer duty escalator. He thanked the CAMRA volunteers for a
good discussion on how he can continue to support local businesses.
