P-05-987 Update
guidelines so family run Adult Gaming Centres qualify for Business Grants in
Wales
This
petition was submitted by Delucia Sidoli having collected a total of 706
signatures.
Text of Petition:
Many towns in Wales have
an Adult Gaming Centre (AGC). Of all the AGCs in Wales, only a handful are
operated by national chains, the rest are family run.
Welsh Government is currently
adamant that they will not update COVID Business Grant guidelines to support
these family run AGCs. AGCs are also excluded from the Economic Resilience
Fund.
Some AGCs in Wales have
operated since the 80s and all employ local people. The current lack of support
is putting hundreds of Welsh jobs at risk.
Additional Information:
AGCs have been included in
the grant schemes in England and in Scotland, and businesses in those countries
have confirmed they have received the grants.
This petition was
considered completed by the Petitions Committee at its meeting on 15/09/2020.
The Committee considered
the petition for the first time and in light of the fact that the Minister has
no intention of changing the guidance in relation to the grants scheme, and the
scheme has now closed to new applications, the Committee agreed to close the
petition and thank the petitioner.
Full details of the
consideration of this petitions by the committee and related documents can be
