Keep ALL Children's Soft Play Centres Open

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To re-consider the decision to close ALL childrens soft play centres which appears to have been a trade off for re-opening gyms.
The majority of these businesses are small family run businesses and they are not going to survive being closed for a 2nd time. One of the last businesses to reopen since March and owners have implemented new policies and procedures to keep staff, parents and children safe. The mental health and well-being of the owners, staff, parents, carers and children who use these services will be affected massively as a result of a decision to close them and appear to open gyms as a result.
