What the petition asks
Children need to exercise. Children need to Play. Please class all indoor play centres and areas as essential, as gyms are for adults, so they can open in all Tiers.
This is crucial for the mental health and development of our children.
Gyms were originally asked to close in high tier restriction areas, they fought this ruling and won as the Government realised that they were essential for people to remain healthy in body and mind. We now need this to be the case for our children, they need to be able to do leisure activities, sports and play for their mental and physical development.
