What the petition asks
We want to arrange an 'emergency' bank holiday for Monday the 12th of July, to celebrate England getting to the final of the Euro 2020 competition, the first major final since 1966.
Being able to celebrate this rare occasion would be an amazing opportunity for the whole population after such a dire year locked into our homes away from our friends and family.
