We’re asking Clive Chesser (CEO at Punch Pubs & Co) to behave fairly, fulfil the current term and negotiate a new fair tenancy agreement with The Canal Turn, Carnforth. 

The Canal Turn’s current 5-year tenancy agreement expires in May 2023.  Punch Pubs have served the current landlord with 3 months’ notice, despite being up to date with all rent payments and other obligations.  We’re calling on Punch to behave fairly and allow the current team to continue with the amazing work they have done with the pub.  The Canal Turn is a huge asset to the Carnforth community, staging numerous events and charity initiatives.  Local regulars of the pub are furious with the way Punch Pubs are behaving and we wish the current team to stay in place.  They have worked hard through Covid, and everything else, and deserve better than this unfair treatment.   Keep the current management in place and give them a new, fair and viable agreement moving forward.  The pub will not be supported if their hard work and reputation is gone.
