Make the Lunar New Year an official recognised Bank Holiday

Petition Details

We want the Government to make the Lunar New Year an official recognised Bank Holiday.

Additional Information

This will embrace other cultures here that could bring people together and create another event to celebrate, as London already has possibly the biggest Lunar New Year celebration outside of Asia.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
