Getting closer to 5,000 - but need more signatures
Those case numbers are stubborn and I am hoping that this will trigger a re-evaluation of what's realistic before things can open up.
I've said since I started this petition that we need to change the conversation to being about what can be opened up safely - and its a complete no-brainer that activities like golf and tennis, which managed so well in Stage 3 lockdown with bookings and records of everyone at their venues, should be open.
I feel the same way about cafes and restaurants that collect customer data and manage their business in a COVID safe way. To me opening these activities makes much more sense than unregulated visits to other peoples homes, packing out local parks because of limited leisure options.
If you feel the same way, encourage more people to sign - there is pressure building to re-evaluate the roadmap, and our petition reinforces that pressure.
Finally, I have included a link below to the podcast which was on the First Serve on SEN last night. Thanks to the host Brett Phillips, who took my call and gave his strong support to our cause. The podcast isn't long and I am on around 30 minutes in.
