How many pubs have closed down this year?

New figures shared with ITV News reveal the alarming rate at which pubs are disappearing from our communities.

The Campaign for Real Ale says 794 have closed their doors so far this year, with 82 gone for good- either demolished or converted to other uses.

Now MPs are to consider a new law which would give so-called heritage pubs greater protection.
