What the petition asks
The new lockdown rules won't allow those in a committed relationship to meet indoors.
It is not always possible to be apart of the same support bubble.
We wish for the government to allow those in a committed relationship to meet each other indoors throughout the lockdown period.

We wish for the government to allow those in a committed relationship to meet each other indoors throughout the lockdown period.
Lockdown is an isolating time for all, revoking most freedoms to meet with friends, family and other support networks. For many, their significant other is their only support.
We are asking for the government to allow two people in a committed relationship to meet inside, in a private place.
Although a lockdown may be argued as necessary, it is inhumane to prevent two loved ones from being together. By permitting this, there will be greater compliance with the rest of the rules.
