This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Indoor play areas are already allowed to open under certain conditions, so long as they observe social distancing and other related guidelines: https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/2970/documents/28398/default/. It is for individual businesses to decide whether, and how, they can re-open within these restrictions.
It is therefore not clear what else you would like the Government to do.
You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/331261
