What the petition asks
To halt the changing of the clocks and give the UK a trial on running on BST for the year
Now more than ever the outdoors is becoming more important to everyone. Our economy has suffered and mental health has detiorated. If we were to keep the clocks at BST, our economy would recieve a boost, mental health would benefit. Due to the current pandemic and restrictions many primary and senior children are now walking home along. The extra hour of daylight would make a difference to many lives.
