Rejected petition Do NOT change the May Day bank holiday for the King’s coronation

Keep May Day bank holiday as the 01.05.23

More details

Delayed Weddings, holidays and important events have been booked far in advance for the existing bank holiday. We do not need a day off for the Kings coronation when it is being held on a Saturday. May Day has its own meaning and of it gets scrapped it’s a dishonour to international workers day
