second home council tax uplift while illegal to travel to second homes

Text of Petition
Second home owners in
Pembrokeshire are charged a 50% uplift on their council tax. During the
Coronavirus outbreak it is illegal to travel to a second home, and therefore
the homes cannot be used. This is an acceptable decision , as it reduces the
potential of overwhelming rural health services. It seems only fair that, at
the very least, the uplift of council tax is removed during the time that the
police will fine anyone travelling to a second home.
