Rejected petition Introduce two bank holidays in June 2021 to boost morale after the pandemic

Introduce two bank holidays in to June 2021 so that the people of Britain can celebrate the end of the COVID pandemic after vaccinations have been carried out. This will give the hospitality industry a much needed boost after being hit so hard by lockdowns and restrictions.

More details

Throughout the pandemic, people have been starved of social contact with family and friends, the hospitality industry has been hit incredibly hard and key workers have had to support the country. These bank holiday days will give the country some time to celebrate together and give artists, venues and pubs etc an opportunity to earn money.
