Prevent the closure of Gyms across the UK after the announcement of lockdown.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The goal is to get the government to rethink their decision to close gyms and leisure centres and to come to an agreement to reopen them. As myself and many people rely on gym as part of therapy or a source of happiness I think it would be beneficial for all to reopen them.
