The same level of support needs to be given to small businesses.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Give the same level of support that was given to small businesses during the first lockdown. The current level is not enough for those that have been forced to close.

At the current rate of financial loss there is no chance of many small businesses surviving this third lockdown. Please give the same level of support as was given during the first lockdown.
