Defer Easter & May Bank Holidays until Corona Virus restrictions are lifted.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We’ve got 4 bank holidays coming up, all of which are almost certainly going to be at the height of the virus and thus useless to us all. Please could parliament defer these until later this year to make up for this period away from our families, friends and social activities.

Just out of common sense and common courtesy really.
