To include self catering businesses in Scotland for Covid19 Small Business Grant

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Following Scottish government guidelines, all self catering businesses have closed, refunded & cancelled bookings to keep Scotland’s population safe. The self catering industry plays a huge role in tourism and hospitality in Scotland and should receive the Covid19 small business grant of £10K.

Self catering properties have a huge positive impact on Scotland’s small communities, creating local employment, supplying the footfall of tourism for all the activity providers, restaurants, pubs and shops, who are eligible for this grant.

Both England and Wales recognise the contribution the self catering industry makes to the hospitality sector. We want Scotland to do the same.
