Keep Childrens' Swimming Lessons operating through the next lockdown

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

With the next lockdown looming we would like to continue to operate our swimming lessons as this is an educational environment and promotes physical and mental well being through the dark winter months.
This is because Government may impose the lockdown, therefore they are the only ones with the power to allow such support.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Since you started your petition, the national lockdown has ended. Under the local restriction tiers introduced from 2 December, swimming pools can remain open in all tiers, but you could start a new petition calling for changes to the current tiered restrictions, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
