Beer-lover opens pub on drive for neighbours - now it's won him a top award

mirror.co.uk:

Missing Friday night pints at his local in lockdown, Matthew Gray decided to have a couple of cans with a neighbour at the front of his home in Heath and Reach.

And as more people joined in, he turned it into “The Driveway Arms”, somewhere people were welcome to stop by for a socially distanced drink and chat. “It meant everybody could keep in touch," smiles Matthew, 35, from Heath and Reach, Bedfordshire. “It kept people’s spirits up and gave them something to look forward to.

It’s really brought us closer as a community.” We partnered with the Halifax to find Britain’s Best Neighbours, in villages, towns and cities across the country, inviting people to nominate those who have stepped up to support others.
