Petition Action

Move the Easter and May Bank Holidays to later in 2020 after social distancing

Petition Details

Move the 10th/13th April and 8th/25th May Bank Holidays to later in 2020 when there is no Coronavirus risk.

Additional Information

As social distancing is being enforced by the Government, businesses and society cannot benefit from the Bank Holidays. So I propose we move them to when people can utilise the days off work.
