Rejected petition Make the 2nd Monday after Rememberance Sunday a Bank Holiday
Remembrance Sunday is an event held across the country on the 2nd Sunday of November. And to help encourage more people to attend these events of remembrance i would like the 2nd Monday after Remembrance Sunday a Bank Holiday for people that cant book a holiday from their employees.
More details
I feel that making the Monday after Remembrance Sunday a Bank Holiday would encourage more people to attend services across the country and world. Making Remembrance Sunday a 3 day weekend would help those that would like to attend places like Belgium not be affected by work commitments. Doing this will also bring business to hotels and bed & breakfasts in the local area that are holding events. Having this as a bank holiday will break up the remaining part of the year between August and Xmas.
