Close food stores on boxing day

Petition Details

With 2020 being a tough year for everyone, and with Christmas looming, I'd just like to point of that food retail stores have been open constantly throughout the pandamic. And that they deserve a rest just as much as anyone else and be able to spend time with family.

Close food retailers on boxing Day as a thank you

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

It's not clear if you want stores to be required to close on Boxing Day just this year, or all years. It's also not clear exactly which stores you want to be required to close.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Make it legal requirement to close shops on bank holidays INCLUDING BOXING DAY: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/324610

Require all large shops to close on Boxing Day and New Year's Day this year: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/561580

If you want the Government to take an action not covered by the above petitions you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
