The iconic Banks's Brewery in Chapel Ash is facing an urgent threat of closure. This brewing site has formed a significant part of our local heritage and economy for more than a century, contributing both to the cultural diversity and economic strength of our community. The closure threatens not only the loss of a beloved local landmark, but also the livelihoods of its dedicated workforce. As a result, the impact would be far-reaching, affecting families, local businesses, and the wider community.

Banks's Brewery is not just a business; it is a cherished institution, a symbol of our identity and a source of pride for generations. It is, also, a key employer in the area, boosting local economy and indirectly supporting many other businesses. The closure would, therefore, lead to unemployment, economic slowdown and loss of community spirit.

Recognising the value of our heritage and the need to support local economy is vital. We urge the relevant authorities, stakeholders and our community to rally together to protect Banks's Brewery. We call on those in power to explore all viable options to keep the brewery open, and safeguard the local jobs and our cultural heritage. Please, lend your voice to help us save this historic brewing site. Sign our petition.
