What the petition asks
We'd like the government to increase the capacity of guests at weddings and reception gathering during Covid 19. if the venue can allow for social distancing and track and trace. (excluding caterer, photographer, Videographers, priest) #COVID-19.
Restaurant and pubs and schools are open to full capacity (adhering to social distancing) and, school are open to 1000+ students a day mixing with families, this is unfair against civil liberties of people as such the government is requested to consider the very important celebrations that have been planned for years and the huge amount of money involved. Many individuals have spent extensive amounts of money on deposits/payments received which are not being refunded causing extreme distress.
