Extend the furlough scheme especially for industries highly affected by COVID-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government need to follow suit like other countries in Europe and extend the furlough scheme, especially for highly affected industries e.g. Food, Hospitality, coffee machine servicing

I work for a small business that services coffee machines around the whole of UK. COVID-19 has impacted us greatly just like many other small businesses. We appreciate the current government support but it's not enough. The furlough scheme needs to be extended otherwise unemployment rates will increase a lot more.
