Rejected petition Let supermarkets in Wales open ALL departments, who decides what is essential??

I want the welsh government to reconsider the ban on “non essential” items in supermarkets. The government needs to lift the restrictions and give us access to clothes, books, study supplies/stationary and all other items deemed as non essential.

More details

We are locked down nationally, in October for 17 days meaning we need to make the best of life at home. At this stage in the year we don’t even have the escape of our gardens, and we can’t even buy some new pyjamas in my weekly shop. Children would normally be enjoying activities and time with friends during half term and we can’t even get them a new book, board game or pack of Pokemon cards to occupy their minds or even pens and paper to help work their studies.
