What the petition asks
All the bank holidays that have taken and will take place under COVID restrictions should be carried forward so that over the following years after COVID there will be a number of additional bank holidays each year.
This will give the public a something to look forward too while we are struggling through these tough times. It will also give the hospitality and UK tourist industry extra business opportunities to make up for the loss they have and continue to suffer.
