Bring forward British Summer Time by two weeks in 2021

Closed 54 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the UK lockdown restrictions bringing forward British Summer time could help encourage additional exercise and time outdoors. This could have multiple benefits and the time is right to rethink and implement this strategy.
The USA already changes their clocks earlier in March, and we believe the UK should do the same.
