The owner of a play park for kids in York is in London to urge MPs to give clear guidance on when and how they can re-open.
Janice Dunphy runs the Web Adventure Park, @Creepy_Crawlies which is just outside the city and she is also chair of the Family Entertainment Association.
She says her business alone has lost well over half a million pounds since March and she's also trying to help similar sites all over the country.
She told Minster FM
"I'm having to make horrendous decisions.
We have had no financial help as our rateable value is more than £50,000 and we can't claim insurance.
They say it's a suituation caused by the Government so we are not covered!
Before all this, we had saved £150,000 to make improvements to the park, but all that's gone now and we're down to our last few pounds"
