Rejected petition Sinks for hand washing at restaurants/shops across the uk town centres

Sinks to wash hands in public places, specifically town centres and malls across the country.
This is very significant because hand sanitizers don't kill germs as much as hand washing, therefore having accessible places to wash hands at least before 4th July when more shops open will be important.

More details

Other countries e.g. Rwanda have achieved the same thing and it has greatly benefitted them because it ensures people's hands are always clean.
