Close retail activity until further notice due to Coronavirus
To fight the coronavirus epidemic , and following the lead of other countries We ask the gov to enforce the closure of all retails stores excluding those providing basic necessities (I.e. pharmacies and grocery stores ) to provide financial support for utilities cost and freeze council tax
Retails workers cannot implement social distancing effectively if business operations continue as usual , hindering the efforts to contain the spread of the virus
This has also resulted in an increase of staff members getting sick and stores and remaining staff being put under tremendous strain to keep normal operations running
We ask the government to
increase the businesses support provisions made in the budget 2020 , in order to allow owners to face any economic losses
