Petition Action

Move Easter Bank Holidays Until After Isolation

Petition Details

The government should move the Easter bank holidays to a later date in the year when isolation is over and when some social distancing measures have relaxed.

Additional Information

British workers work hard all year round to earn a short bank holiday break. This is a time when people should be able to be with their friend and families, and enjoy local amenities. Workers have earned the right to enjoy this break, and it should be moved to a time when people are allowed to enjoy it together.
