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 Make it illegal to protest close to hospitals
It is disgraceful that Covid deniers and anti-lockdown protestors are allowed to harass and bully NHS staff who are currently battling Covid. The government should make it illegal to protest and harass NHS staff within a defined area around hospitals and other medical facilities.
More details
NHS workers are already under huge strain fighting Covid, many experiencing mental health difficulties and its abhorrent that protestors are able to harass, intimidate and abuse these staff with impunity. The government needs to protect these staff members and support them rather than turn a blind eye to the abuse they’re receiving.
