Rejected petition Don't turn clocks back during coronavirus pandemic.

The coming winter we will spend more time indoors. We need every available hour of sunlight to be able to go outside and benefit from sunshine. Sunshine delivers vitamin D, which has been linked with reducing the effects of COVID-19.
This will also reduce energy use, helping combat Climate Change.

More details

We call on the UK Government to urgently consider the circumstances and benefits of not turning the clocks back this year, and of course going forward.
