Allow gyms & leisure centres to reopen

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To get the government to rethink their decision on closing gyms and leisure centres.
The government need to come to some agreement on reopening them, as myself and many other people rely on these facilities to improve mental health and well-being.

Winter is approaching, which means seasonal depression for many. Surely that reason alone is suffice.
Not to mention we are now being forced into yet another lockdown which could mean a rise in suicide rates and mental health problems.
