What the petition asks
Golf courses should be allowed to stay open under the new January 2021 Lockdown announced on 4 January to take immediate effect. The new Lockdown allows people to exercise outside and yet outdoor exercise venues (golf courses, tennis courts etc) are required to close. Please keep these places open
Because it is a widely played sport and great form of physical activity. Golf courses are being permitted to open in Scotland so why not England. Please consider this petition, it is important.
Why it was rejected
