P-05-989 Keep restrictions imposed by Covid 19 legislation, allow only a 5mile radius travel within Wales

This petition was submitted by an anonymous petitioner having collected a total of 114 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

On 29th May the Welsh Government announced changes to the restrictions imposed by the Covid 19 regulations. Rules were relaxed but there is still a requirement for people to remain local and within a 5mile radius. These rules are to keep communities and families safe. The reason why social distancing rules are here to stay, is we all have one job. Stop the spread. Restrictions have already been relaxed in England and N.Ireland but I believe they will be the start of a second and third spike.

Additional Information:

Some people are calling for complete freedom of travel within Wales. I feel their pain and know at times isolation can be difficult, but it has been the same for millions around the world. We have one job everyone, we need to keep the figures down and stop the spread. Do not relax local travel only in Wales.

Keep the people of Wales, our families and our communities safe.

Thank you
