What the petition asks
Follow Scotland’s example and allow established couples to be exempt from restrictions on households mixing going forwards, regardless whether or not they live on their own.
Throughout the pandemic we have done our part, we have been separated for months and the mental impact has been horrific. This can simply not carry on through winter as spending time outside becomes more unpleasant. It is not sustainable nor is it fair to ask anymore. Let us qualify for a support bubble, regardless of whether we live with other people, or exempt us as Scotland have from bans on households mixing both in private dwellings and indoor public spaces.
