This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Reconsider the Tier 3 Hospitality rules for businesses not serving alcohol.
The tier 3 restrictions blanket covering hospitality will crush livelihoods and annihilate jobs. The government must reconsider the tier 3 enforced hospitality business closures which target businesses that are regulated and proven to be clean, safe places of business to save jobs and livelihoods.
More details
The government have been publishing weekly data showing settings where coronavirus (Covid-19) has suspected to have been contracted. Cafes and hospitality settings, along with prisons, have been consistently at the bottom of the list and schools and retail at the top. Yet, when uncovering their latest tiered system, it is hospitality which is yet again to bear the brunt of restrictions.
The government's strategy is not backed up by evidence and the persecution of hospitality businesses must stop.
