What the petition asks
With the coming Summer the benefits of longer evenings will be a huge boost to the hospitality industry, sporting activities and socialising after the months of restrictions
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want the Government to change how British Summer Time works, but it's not clear if you want this to be a permanent change to the UK's time zone, a one-off that reverts in the autumn, or something else.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
