Allow pubs and restaurants in Wales to serve alcohol/stay open after 6pm

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Restrictions announced by Mark Drakeford will come into force 6pm, 4th December, which will see the hospitality industry forbidden from selling alcohol, and having to close at 6pm. These new restrictions will be detrimental to the hospitality industry and they need our support.

Venues still can't run at full capacity which means businesses are struggling through these difficult times. But now what will make things much worse is the fact that from Friday, 4th December onwards, venues are now being told to stop selling alcohol, which will have a devastating impact on the industry. Many of which are family run business, who in the coming weeks, rely on what many would consider to be the busiest time of the year, which is essential for their businesses and livelihoods.
