Rejected petition Continue the ban on selling non essential items in supermarkets. It supports small local businesses

The petition to lift this ban has 45000 signatures & will be debated in the Senedd this week. The first minister talked about fairness & the fact that our small local businesses are being forced to close. Presumably most of us support them as there are 3 million of us in Wales not 45000. Please sign to show that you do.
