Provide support to professional UK Bed & Breakfasts duirng COVID-19 crisis.

What the petition asks

Financial support or a VAT break is needed. Government could demand that banks give BnBs a mortgage holiday. Business rates measures offered in budget DO NOT help B&Bs and vacation rentals in any way.
Along with airlines, this sector is MOST affected by COVID restrictions and technology and remote working is of no use to them!
Cancellations now far exceed bookings which have dried up.
