Rejected petition Don’t change the rules on supermarkets not selling non essential items.

The Welsh government have asked supermarkets not to sell non-essential items during the fire break lockdown. We believe that this is reasonable and stops people spending any additional unnecessary time outside of their household. There may be some clarification required on some items but in general the rules should remain.

These rules are there to protect public health and protect the NHS.
