Retain Daylight Saving Time (DST) year-round
Daylight Saving Time should be retained year-round, with British Summer Time being the British Standard Time. This is because daylight can still be enjoyed in the early evening, which benefits everyone; particularly those who go to work. Winter hours mean leaving home and returning home in the dark.
Retaining Daylight Saving Time year-round would have a positive impact on people’s mental health, it creates an opportunity to spend time outdoors after work, with a reasonable amount of light. Many people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, are known to suffer from deficiencies in Vitamin D.
At the end of October, you can still enjoy a reasonable amount of daylight as late as 6pm!
In addition to this, the EU are looking to scrap clock changes. This would create a UK-IRL time border.
