An Ipswich publican has said he and other landlords are living in total uncertainty and fears their pubs could go the wall before Easter without further help.
Ady Smith has run the Dove Street Inn for almost 20 years – adding the Ipswich Gin Parlour over the road in recent years and making a sister pub of the Gladstone Arms, at Combs Ford, near Stowmarket.
But his venues are now closed and without more government support, Mr Smith believes his and other pubs could go to the wall before Easter.
