Rejected petition Close Holiday Cottage Businesses and Caravan Parks in Wales Permanently
Return visitors home to areas where they can receive better medical care. Seize holiday cottages and caravan parks. Return them as properties for local residents for non tourism purposes.
More details
The holiday cottage and caravan businesses have put a strain on the resources of rural Britain during the covid19 outbreak. This is an industry that has ignored government advice. It does not sustain locals financially year round. Industry needs rethinking in these rural areas.

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
Since this petition was started, the Government has issued guidance on further businesses and premises to close. The Government has said that exemptions apply where people live permanently in caravan parks or are staying in caravan parks as interim abodes where their primary residence is not available.
