Petition Do not Close Schools for Polling Days

More details

How is it that it's deemed wrong to take children out of school but seems ok for Government to arrange polling days in term time and therefore stopping my children going to school.

There are many alternative halls, such as community halls, church halls, social clubs, or even council offices etc available. Use these for polling days, do not affect our children's education.
