Rejected petition Repeal the Sunday Trading Act 1994 so that we can shop at convenient times.

More details

It is archaic and ridiculous to expect us to change our shopping habits, and shop in places more expensive than the supermarkets, on Sundays.

It is inconvenient, tiresome, expensive and pointless.

Rescind this Act and allow traders to provide for customers how they wish, and customers to make free choices as to how they conduct their lives.
