bank holiday ~ Boxing Day ~ UK
Ensure that Boxing Day is held specifically on 26th December. Day after Xmas day
If 26 Dec is on a Sun, Boxing Day in the UK is moved to 27 Dec. In the UK, Boxing Day is a bank holiday. If Boxing Day is on a Sat, the following Mon is a substitute bank holiday. On occasion when Xmas Day is on a Sat, the following Mon is Boxing Day and Tue a substitute bank holiday for Xmas.
The intention is to fix Boxing Day to the 26th Dec regardless of what day it falls on so that it is observed formally as a national holiday.
This would mean that if Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, that day is observed as Boxing Day and (Sunday) the Day of Rest is observed on the Monday instead.
This Petition is about recognising the priorities and people and how times have changed. Boxing Day would be given priority over business and Sunday day of rest.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
