Rejected petition The UK should change to Central European Time, with GMT+1 in winter and GMT +2 in summer, giving more evening daylight all year round

More details

The UK should change to the same time zone as most countries in Central and Western Europe. This will increase evening daylight, increase tourism and leisure opportunities, reduce road accidents, and cut energy usage.
It would also make good bnusiness sense to be on the same time zone as our major trading partners.
