Review school absence fines & CAP peak pricing of activities in school holidays

What the petition asks
We want the government to cap excessive “peak pricing” on family attractions and travel during school holidays. We also want them to review term-time holiday fines and support businesses offering fair pricing with subsidies or tax relief.
We feel that parents are being forced to pay inflated prices or face fines for taking time off in term time. We think the system punishes families. We need fair, affordable access to rest, fun, and memories.
