What the petition asks
Refine the understanding of takeaway essentials .. these shops encourage people to queue .. mostly without adequate social distancing measures
It is clear when looking at chain coffee shops during the rising tier system .. ultimately resulting in lockdown that, these are possibly a catalyst for Covid infection and spread because of the social relaxed nature. The question must be asked .. if queuing for a coffee is fine why not a beer? Pubs are shut.
