Make February 29th a Bank Holiday, Every Leap Year.
Rejected
15 signatures
What the petition asks
Every time there is a leap year February 29th should be a bank holiday. This only comes round every 4 years and would not cause a drop in production or a loss of business hours as this is an extra day added onto the year.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
