What the petition asks
We are petitioning to allow all hospitality establishments including restaurants, pubs & cafes to serve food indoors & outdoors to single household tables within a Covid secure environment, whilst in tier 3.
We are not encouraging household mixing and therefore there is minimal infection risk.
We are not encouraging household mixing and therefore there is minimal infection risk.
The current tier 3 government restrictions are crippling the hospitality industry and it can no longer be sustained.
In some areas of the UK, hospitality has only been allowed to open in some capacity for less than 50% of the time since March.
Theres no hard evidence to prove that a restaurant is a higher infection risk than a supermarket, nail salon, hairdressers, gym or mall, however these establishments are able to open within tier 3 and the hospitality sector are being unfairly penalised
