Increase the rateable valuable limit for business grants in the leisure industry

Closed 9 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to increase the rateable value for businesses in the leisure industry to access the Coronavirus Business Grants. This industry will be the last sector to return to normal and need fair and equal rights to access these grants, as many can not afford to pay back additional loans
We want a fair and equal chance to survive this crisis and currently feel the distribution of Financial aid has allocated unfairly and discriminates against small businesses that operate in larger size premises. The Government promotes equal rights and acts against discrimination, but currently businesses are being discriminated against by sizeism. There seems to be a lack of investigation into the businesses operating as whole, there needs to be equal rights for every businesses to survive.
