Enforce the closure of UK holiday parks until they are safe to re-open.

What the petition asks
Enforce the closure of UK holiday parks until it’s safe to re-open, in the interests of the health & safety of guests & employees. Too many holiday parks are remaining open leaving guests the only option of cancelling holidays & losing money, or worse, going anyway and potentially spreading Covid19.
Because unless directly ordered too, I believe some companies will not take the safety of guests, employees and the wider public seriously.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Since this petition was started, the Government has issued guidance on further businesses and premises to close. The Government has said that exemptions apply where people live permanently in caravan parks or are staying in caravan parks as interim abodes where their primary residence is not available.
