Change the Bank holiday dates or give us extra ones after Covid-19
Because of Covid-19, the country is in lockdown. Good Friday and Easter Monday, also 2 bank holidays in May Could be effected. Restaurants, pubs, clubs, Tourist spots, hotels, retail etc.. usually benefit from Bank holiday increased trade when people are off work, this will no longer be possible.
To help our UK economy after this difficult times, I propose that we need to give extra bank holidays once we are out of lockdown, to give British businesses a fighting chance to regain lost custom and make profit again so we can get our economy back to normal as quickly as possible, and also as a celebrationn of national triumph once we have beaten Covid-19 collectively as nation.
