What the petition asks
Early May Bank Holiday this year commemorates the 75th Anniversary of VE day.
Let’s keep this exceptional change and make it an annual commemoration for all our Key Workers that includes the NHS, Fire, Police, Ambulance, Care and all those working to keep us safe and well.

'Bank Holidays' have little meaning. Government has recognised this Early May Bank Holiday as a commemoration of VE Day. We could recognise this exceptional change every year as Key Worker day to celebrate and commemorate all those wonderful people who selflessley work to look after us.
