What the petition asks
Starting the curfew at 10pm is harmful for businesses in the hospitality sector especially pubs, as after 10pm is their busiest times.
It has been estimated only 5% of infections come from the hospitality sector an extension of business hours would aid businesses while still safeguarding citizens

This policy is harmful, most businesses are still recovering from the initial lockdown this extension of business hours would be hugely beneficial for businesses as well as working with the government to safeguard the general public.
The new measures of only table service and wearing face masks when not seated makes the indusry safer.
This extension would support the economy, businesses, jobs and would be a welcomed action to ease social tension in these unprecedented times.
