STOP!! SPORTING FACILITIES BEING CLOSED AS PART OF LOCKDOWN!!

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Sporting facilities such as gyms are a major part of peoples lives! Times are very hard for us all, not just as nation but worldwide! These facilities play a major role for our mental stability. Keep these facilities open with a strict system in place.
It would reduce domestic violence, help those who suffer with mental health issues, prevent others from developing mental health issues and depression. As much as restrictions and isolation is necessary, it is also the equivalent to imprisonment and contributing to other issues. The long term effects are far greater than the short solution. These facilities are a complete lifestyle to some and by completely taking away a persons lifestyle the result would only add to the world wide devastation!
