What the petition asks
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic lot of small and family run business like restaurants, hairdressers, furniture shops etc have had to close but have still had to pay rent to landlords
Due to this many small businesses are on brink of collapse as help provided has been too little. The Government should pay or subsidise the rent of small businesses, so when it’s over small businesses should not be in looking into bankruptcy or shutting their business
