Rejected petition Enforce closures of Public Venues to give financial support to those affected.

Instead of suggesting people avoid venues detailed in The Prime Minister's Public Announcement on 16.03.2020, enforce the closure of these locations.

Allow people to claim on the insurance, to help keep businesses alive as well as families in their homes.

More details

The Government has advised the public to avoid Pubs, Restaurants, Bars, Cinemas and Theatres, the proprietors of these venues will not be able to make any claim on insurance for loss of income. Landlords will still have to pay rent whilst not earning. As for the Staff they will lose their jobs, which in turn makes mortgage/rent payments a very difficult task. Many Pubs and other Small Businesses are already just about keeping afloat. Please force the closure to ensure more lives aren't ruined
