Make the 23rd March a bank holiday to remember when the lockdown first started

Petition Details

The 23rd March was the day when the UK officially went into lockdown, it will forever go down as history and this day should be remembered

Additional Information

We will be in lockdown for over a year and many have lost love ones, businesses, not seen family and missed out on life events.

We’ve all tried to play our part and haven’t been able to enjoy many bank holidays and Christmas like we would normally.

So we should have it as a bank holiday as we will never forget this moment in history
