Petition Action

Care Packages available for all Key Workers and Over 70's.

Petition Details

To enforce that care packages of food and other essential items are available for all our Key Workers and over 70's in all our supermarkets. Or alternatively make the supermarkets close and only open for Key Workers or over 70's one day a week. This guarantees that they are have what they need.

Additional Information

If they don't take control of the panic buying in this way the Key Workers and over 70's will not be able to eat and keep healthy. These groups of people have enough to worry about without adding the fact they cant find the basics to feed themselves.
