Rejected petition Stop major retailors opening on Boxing Day.

More details

It's about time the people who work in the retail sector have a voice. Shops should not be open on Boxing Day. We work so hard in the run up to Christmas, and Boxing Day should be a time we can be with our families.

Please support the people who keep the retail sector afloat....we get a rough deal at this time of year & we need to reclaim Boxing Day & as a day for relaxing & spending time with our loved ones.
