The Issue

I find Mays two bank holidays after  Easter are just to close together, as we then have to wait until the end of  August for our next one.                                                                                                                                                                                          .                                                                I’ve been thinking about a change that could benefit so many of us.                                                                    Imagine having one of the Mays bank holidays moved to the end of June and the other to the end of October, not only would this prevent the current bottleneck of four bank holidays between Easter and May, but it would also allow us to stretch the joy of public holidays over a more extended period.                     .    .                                                                 We would not only enjoy the traditional August break but also have two other additional holidays spread across the warmer months & into autumn, enhancing family time.                                                       .                                                              Can you please share it with all your contacts to ask them to sign this petition, if we reach 100,000 signatures, the government then have to act on it and if it goes through, they have to get a Kings proclamation & if he agrees( i think he would ) he will then give  permission to change change the bank holidays 😊🐅
