Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand you are concerned about local shops, but we're not sure exactly what action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Background
Currently in the local area we have seen landlords force out shopkeepers of their rental properties by unlawful practices. With the goal of turning the shops into residential properties.
Landlords and managing agents know they can make more money from residential properties and they are driving out the much needed local shops.
