When the last case of Covid-19 has gone, let's declare that day a bank holiday.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Allocate a new bank holiday once the Covid-19 outbreak is over. Maybe call it Community Day and each year we can celebrate our great nation pulling together to get through this terrible crisis with family and friends spending quality time together

We are in a bad place right now and the nation needs some positivity to help us pull together and get through this. In future a Community Day will help us remember how we worked together and remind us of the cohesion we all felt at the lowest possible times
