The bank holidays should be arranged for a later date this year, after lockdown.
Due to the lockdown, the UK has not had a proper bank holiday. Easter and May bank holidays are all essentially during lockdown. The government should give the bank holiday at a later date for citizens to celebrate properly
I think it will boost morale, show fairness and it is the decent thing to do
