Rejected petition Do not ban exercising. Close Royal & Public Parks.

Banning the necessity to exercise for the majority as punishment for the mindless minority is unjust. Instrad we ask you to close all Parks, beauty spots, council owned reserves and places of interest where the public can congregate.

More details

If all large spaces are are prohibited from the public this will naturally discourage the minority from ignoring all government guidelines and allow the general public to continue to exercise daily. Daily exercise is fundamental to health and mental well being.
