Apply a more localised lockdown tier structure for Kent

Closed 181 signatures

What the petition asks

The Kent economy is being destroyed by blanket Tier 3 lockdown measures. More localised measures must be put in place proportionate to the risk of the given area to protect businesses and lives in Kent.
The COVID-19 Tier county tier system is disproportionately harsh in large counties that sees dramatically lower rates of COVID from one borough to another. This is severely impacting lives and businesses in areas where the rates of covid are much lower. Slough is Tier 3 but the rest of Berkshire is Tier 2. Please apply this to Kent where Tunbridge Wells and other large towns have a very low rate of infection and is disproportionate.
