Provide economic support to hospitality venues affected by coronavirus.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Provide a decisive response to the impact of social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic and offer support so that no independent pub, club, restaurant or any other hospitality venue is forced out of business.

In light of recent “advice” the public is being advised not to visit pubs, clubs or any public spaces with gatherings of people to limit the infection rate of Coronavirus.
By not enforcing a closure of these venues owners will be left with spiralling costs and absolutely no trade, ultimately resulting in many closures, bankruptcies and staff redundancies.
Without providing financial support the cost to the economy and the people of this nation will be huge
