P-05-981 Allow
gyms and leisure centres to reopen
This
petition was submitted by Kirsty Stevenson having collected a total of 964 signatures.
Text of Petition:
The goal is to get the
government to rethink their decision to close gyms and leisure centres, and to
come to an agreement to reopen them. Many people utilise such facilities for
mental health and wellbeing purposes and it would be beneficial to reopen in a
controlled manner.
Additional Information:
There are processes that
can be put in place to ensure distancing and hygiene policies are adhered to,
and can be done in a safer and more manageable way than current shops that are
open and most certainly more manageable than the ‘non essential’ shops’ that
are being considered.
This petition was
considered completed by the Petitions Committee at its meeting on 15/09/2020.
The Committee considered
the petition alongside P-05-986 Allow small gyms and personal training spaces to open sooner
during COVID restrictions and agreed that, as indoor gyms have now been allowed to reopen and the
Deputy Minister has provided information about the scientific advice used to
inform decisions, agreed to close the petitions.
