P-05-1061 Give financial support to Pet Boarding
businesses
This
petition was submitted by Ryan Lee having collected a total of 2,144
signatures.
Text of Petition:
The latest grants made
available are for those in lockdown areas or business development. Many Pet
Boarding businesses outside lockdown areas have seen customer numbers fall to
zero. The Business Development Grants can not be used to pay the monthly bills.
Pet Boarding Businesses need financial support now to stop them going out of
business. Hundreds of jobs and homes are at risk without adequate financial
support.
Additional Information:
Pet Boarding businesses have struggle to keep the
doors open to assist NHS staff working long hours fighting Covid, they have
helped care for pets of people who have been hospitalised. In many cases having
one or two pets in at a time costs them more than they earn and with increased
heating and lighting bills over the winter months many will be forced to close,
removing this vital service.
These are businesses that were successful before
Covid and will be again as long as action is taken to protect them.
