Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Close down Hardware, DIY Stores and Garden centres in Tier 4 areas

December has brought about a new mutation strain of COVID-19, but yet we are keeping DIY, Hardware stores and Garden centres open which are NOT essential. Supermarkets and pharmacies are the only essential shops we need.

More details

If the Government say they are taking stricter action, then why continue to keep these places open? Doing this just increases the chance of more infections and a rapid spread. These places are making less money staying open. If they closed during the first lockdown, then it's obvious they should not be open. I'm sure people can survive without these stores.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
