Allow Pubs and Restaurant to be one of the first to reopen.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

With the proof that pubs and restaurants aren’t a Covid Hotspot and minimum cases, allow hospitality to be one of the first professions to re open.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand you're concerned for pubs and restaurants to open as soon as possible, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to achieve this.

Under the Government's roadmap for easing restrictions this spring, hospitality venues will be allowed to open to serve people outdoors at Step 2 (no earlier than 12 April). See:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-response-spring-2021/covid-19-response-spring-2021-summary

You could start a new petition calling for pubs, restaurants and other hospitality venues to be included in Step 1 of the roadmap, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
