What the petition asks
we want the government to change the regulations for the small business grant. small business that started before the pandemic, and are entitled to get business rates regardless of what date they applied. should be granted the grant.
This is an unfair policy that white washes small business that just fall out of the regulations for the grant. we are important too, we vote! allot of us are important parts of our community and as such should not be dismissed. we need this grant just as much as other businesses. this policy discriminates all other small business.
