P-05-1067 Allow all non-essential retail shops to continue to trade whilst under the 17 day lockdown

This petition was submitted by Martin Obbard having collected a total of 56 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

The Welsh Government, as part of its 17 day "firebreak" lockdown, is banning the selling of non-essential goods.

As a review of supermarkets shops is being undertaken of the sale of non-essential goods then all non-essential retail shops should be allowed to remain open if they choose to. We do not agree that this is a prudent or rational measure, and will create more harm than good.
