Allow Takeaway Alcohol Sales during the Second UK Lockdown
Rejected

What the petition asks
Allow pubs and local businesses in the uk to sell alcohol as a takeaway product alongside food during the second lockdown starting on thursday the 5th of november.
Local and independantly funded pubs relied on the takeaway sale of alcohol as a means of income during the first lockdown, the new rule means that the pubs that have struggled to stay open throughout - apart from that time when the government told everyone to go to the pubs - will now have to close down completely again. This will cause many businesses to close for good coming into what should be the busiest season for the hospitality industry.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
