Reopen open-air swimming, golf & tennis facilities before 2 December 2020.
* Social distancing is maintained by default due to rules of the three sports
* UK Government encourages outdoor exercise. This should include all ages & abilities, not just those who run & cycle
* Covid-19 guidelines have been complied with to date
* Very few or nil cases of C-19 identified at golf, swim & tennis facilities
* Most users travel to above facilities via bicycle, car or on foot
* Most facilities require users to change outdoors. Indoor areas cleaned with a chlorine disinfectant, which kills C-19
* Lakes are exempt but reservoirs are not, putting open water swimmers at potential risk swimming unsupervised
* Ongoing closure equals loss of livelihoods, poor population health & closure of facilities.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Since you started your petition the lockdown has ended and facilities have reopened. You could start a petition calling for changes to Tier restrictions if that's something you'd like to see happen.
