Rejected petition reclaim the bank holidays lost through lock down when the pandemic is over
Rejected on
Have at least 1 extra bank holiday to replace the bank holidays that were adversely affected during the lock downs.
The extra bank holiday would give the people a goal of trying to prevent the spread of the virus through the promise of a reward (bank holiday) and as a gesture of thanks to the NHS.
