Rejected petition Keep 2020 May Bank Holiday Same. Instead Create Public Holiday for 75th VE Day.

Rather than moving the 2020 early May bank holiday the Government should create a public holiday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day. Many have already booked weddings etc. around the bank holiday weekend, creating a public holiday rather than recycling a bank holiday would be better.
