Implement Permanent Closure for Stores Selling Illegal or Laced Vapes to Minors

Open for signatures 72 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 amended to remove the 3-month limit for "problem premises" involved in the supply of illegal substances to minors.
In our region, dozens of shops have been closed temporarily, only to reopen and repeat the same offenses.
Permanent Closure Orders for shops selling vapes containing controlled substances.
A "One-Strike" ban on business owners caught selling harmful products to minors.
Greater accountability for landlords who rent to repeat offenders.
Temporary bans are not enough when a child's life is at risk. Make the closures permanent.
The current "revolving door" of temporary closures is failing to protect our children.
