Closed 284 signatures

What the petition asks

New Years Eve is one of the busiest times for the food and Pub industry.
The Government should recognise the last minute change to the Tier System has left thousands with huge amounts of food purchased which could not be sold. Emergency funding is desperately needed.
New Years Eve should have been one of the busiest times for the food and pub industry. The last minute decision to change Tiers means hundreds of thousands of establishments have spent a small fortune on food for meals which may have been wasted. This could be the final straw for some businesses after such a tough year. I am asking for the government to issue immediate emergancy funding to recoup these costs and throw a lifeline to this industry.

Once they're gone they're gone.
