Bus Scheme to help Village Pubs in Essex

A scheme aimed at halting the decline of rural pubs in north Essex will begin next month. reports BBC News.

A rural pub bus will take people to village pubs in the Colchester district once a month between May and November.

It is the first of its kind in Essex and could be rolled out to other areas if it proves a success.

It will be run by the local branch of CAMRA and the Colchester Community Voluntary Service, with funding from the Rural Community Council of Essex.

Over the summer period the minibus will visit a total of 22 villages which are not easily accessible without a car.
