Stop corporate bullying closing down your local shops

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to question the CEO's of large corporations
on their policy for closing accounts of local high street shops, that serve the needs of their local communities, and also have a positive effect on wellbeing, fitness, and mental health.
The Government have embarked on a policy to tackle obesity, with young and old by encouraging physical activities, yet the large sports
supply companies i.e.; Adidas , Nike ,Asics, that provide footwear apparel and equipment, have now embarked on a policy of closing the accounts of local high street sports shops that supply children's clubs,
academy's and local community centre's.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

It is the decision of individual businesses who to sell their products to.
