Vintners propose 'radical' plan that would let pubs reopen in June

They hope to convince public health authorities to let them get back to work under those arrangements from the end of June instead of August 10.

Publicans want to reopen their bars six weeks earlier than scheduled in the government's pandemic plan.

Trade groups have offered up a "radical" plan that would limit the number of people on the premises, ban live music, and make pubs table service only.
