Stop essential retailers selling non-essential goods in stores during lockdown

What the petition asks
Working for a non-essential clothing retailer, I find it unacceptable that essential retailers, such as supermarkets are able to draw scores of people and sell non-essential items, like clothing. These should be prohibited for the fairness of competition.
It is the duty of this Government to take these decisions in line with their COVID-19 lockdown policies.
