Text of Petition
As a mother of a
vulnerable child I would like to get access to a priority shopping delivery
slot with supermarkets while having to shield her during the COVID19 crisis.
I appreciate the local
Governments are delivering free food parcels and there are many people working
extremely hard to provide these. However good this gesture, it is not enough to
replace a home shopping delivery. Furthermore, I have been in contact with many
vulnerable people who feel the same.
Firstly, the free food box
is for the vulnerable person only, and rightly so, but as a family we also need
to eat, buy cleaning and sanitary products. As a result, I still need shopping
and after 21 days of shielding I have not been able to get a shopping home
delivery. This is making it very difficult for us to self-isolate as a family
as advise by our Respiratory Nurse.
I feel it is very unfair
for people in England to register for this on the GOV.uk website and this is automatically
passed on to supermarkets, whereas people in Wales cannot. Welsh people claim
benefits, tax our cars, complete self-assessments and much more on this website
so why can’t we have access to the website for priority access to shopping.
Please give the Welsh
vulnerable priority access to shopping slots with the supermarkets on the
GOV.uk website or set up a similar system/website for Wales.
Diolch yn fawr!
