Rejected petition Force Holiday Parks to Close and Issue Refunds Amid COVID19

Holiday parks, caravan parks and the like should be closed during the time of the covid 19 pandemic. Bars, restaurants, leisure facilities and gyms have already been told to close, why not holiday parks too? They are certainly not essential and at this time is outright dangerous.

More details

Some holiday parks are opting to stay open during the covid-19 pandemic and only closing their on site facilities but are refusing to issue refunds to those who have a holiday booked in the coming months.
Those who cannot afford to lose out will be inclined to attend their holiday, thus putting themselves and everyone else at risk. This is a disgusting show of greed and selfishness on behalf of the company and it needs to be stopped now.
