Mark end of Covid- 19 with Bank Holiday & authorise UK wide Street Party

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to mark the end of the pandemic with a bank holiday and pre-authorisation for a nationwide street party.
At the time of me writing this around one in five people around the globe are under lockdown.

This has been a very isolating time for some and a worrying time for all.

It is my belief that giving the communites preauthorisation for a street party when it is medically safe to do so will give people HOPE, something to plan for & bring people together.
