Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality
You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.
Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden
If Jesus was crucified by Governor Pontius Pilate, why does the Quran deny his death?
You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet
They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.
Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:
Can you provide some examples of music with a free form structure?
You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket
The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?
Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden
Entertainment (pre TV and radio)
A range of alcoholic drinks
But now:
Has anyone ever really waited that long and gotten a paper check mailed 20 days ago?
In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.
