Force a ban on trading on Boxing Day making big Retailers close

Petition Details

Retail stores never used to open on Boxing Day so why now this would enable more families to spend time together.
Most families aren’t able to enjoy their Christmas Day due to having to be in work again on Boxing Day.
Let’s get a ban on trading Boxing Day so that families can enjoy their Christmas

Additional Information

My own family are affected by this each and every year and the run up to and Christmas Day itself isn’t enjoyable as there is no time to spend together or relax
