Petition Action

Put the clocks forward not back, give us more light in the afternoon.

Petition Details

It is known that the virus appears to spread less easily outdoors due to ventilation.So the conclusion many would come to is that persuading people to live, socialise, exercise, and eat and drink outside as much as possible is a positive way to help stop the spread of the virus.

Additional Information

Proposal
Instead of putting the clocks BACK an hour in October we propose putting them FORWARD by an hour.
There is a precedent for this: During the Second World War (1939-1945), British Double Summer Time - two hours in
advance of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Advantages:
Lighter evenings
Allowing for more leisure time outside for all ages.
Hospitality
This would benefit the hospitality sector, allowing people to remain outside to eat and drink much later than is currently
possible.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/555892

We're sorry we didn't manage to check your petition before the clocks changed last month, but if you would like the Government to reform how the clocks change every year you might like to sign the above petition.
