P-05-1100 Allow pubs and restaurants in Wales to serve alcohol/stay open after 6pm

This petition was submitted by Gwilym Owen having collected a total of 4,619 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

Restrictions announced by Mark Drakeford will come into force 6pm, 4th December, which will see the hospitality industry forbidden from selling alcohol, and having to close at 6pm. These new restrictions will be detrimental to the hospitality industry and they need our support.

Additional Information:

Venues still can't run at full capacity which means businesses are struggling through these difficult times. But now what will make things much worse is the fact that from Friday, 4th December onwards, venues are now being told to stop selling alcohol and to close at 6pm, which will have a devastating impact on the industry. Many of which are family run business, who in the coming weeks, rely on what many would consider to be the busiest time of the year, which is essential for their businesses and livelihoods.
