Petition Action

Remove Sunday trading restrictions

Additional Information

Given that we now live in a multicultural society and the days of worship vary, religion can no longer be held as the reason to restrict shop opening times.

Also given that the working week is no longer a Monday - Friday 9-5 thing people should be able to shop on a Sunday if this is the only day available.

They should not have to deal with the restrictive hours that are imposed on the majority of shops.

The government should remove these restrictions and allow shops to open what hours they choose.
