Provide adequate support for our High street during the energy crisis.
Change government policy to reflect the following;
1) Reduction in VAT to 5% until the energy crisis is under control.
2) Introduce business rate rebates.
3) Re-Introduce a cap on energy price rises.
4) Proactive launch of new decarbonisation and grant schemes to support SME’s
Since February 2021, small businesses have seen their gas & energy costs rise over 400% with further increases anticipated resulting in record levels of business failure.
Our high street has survived unprecedented challenges arising from the pandemic, & despite having not fully recovered we once again face an existential threat which has already resulted in many thousands of businesses to cease trading, with inevitable mass business failure if adequate and immediate action isn’t taken.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure if you'd like this support for high street businesses or all businesses.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
