Petition Action

Keep small local shops in villages as shops

Petition Details

Ensure fair and equitable treatment of shopkeepers from landlords. To stop landlords from turning village shops into flats.

Additional Information

Currently in the local area we have seen landlords force out shopkeepers of their rental properties by unlawful practices. With the goal of turning the shops into residential properties.

Landlords and managing agents know they can make more money from residential properties and they are driving out the much needed local shops.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand you are concerned about local shops, but we're not sure exactly what action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
