Rejected petition Open gyms in lockdown to help with mental health and well-being.
Rejected on
Open gyms during lockdown to help with mental health and well-being even if it’s for a shortened amount of hours.
Some people’s mental state has been helped by going to the gyms keeping fit and healthy something which was badly effected by the first lockdown of schools where hundreds and thousands of house holds will be mixing once children go to and from school the gyms should be allowed to open if only for shorter hours.
