Wetherspoons closing Coventry and Poole pubs soon

Wetherspoons will close The Spon Gate pub in Coventry, with a closure date yet to be confirmed. Staff will be offered roles at other locations. This leaves only two Wetherspoons pubs in the city. Additionally, The Quay in Poole, Dorset, will shut on March 23. This follows the sale of two other Wetherspoons pubs, The Hain Line and Foot of the Walk, with their closure dates still unknown. Recent reports indicate that around six pubs close permanently each week in the UK, leading to significant job losses. The British Beer and Pub Association warns that more closures may occur this year due to rising costs.
