It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want the Government to provide financial relief to laundrettes, but it's not clear what additional support you want to be provided.
Businesses such as laundrettes may already be eligible for certain government support schemes, including the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, business rates relief, and the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme.You can find out more about support available and what support individual businesses might be eligible for here: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus/business-support
If you want the Government to provide additional support you could start a new petition explaining clearly what additional support you would like the Government or Parliament to provide.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
