A FIFE MSP dropped into his local to support the Pubs Matter campaign and to highlight the many community benefits of our bars and clubs. Alex Rowley said that the impact of COVID and the restrictions put in place, including a ban on the sale of alcohol, had put businesses at risk of closing their doors for good. He visited the Kings Bar in Kelty and said: “Public health comes first and I have supported the measures being put in place but I am also supporting pubs and clubs and making the case for financial support that will help them pay the bills and get through this period.
