Closed Government to declare a new annual bank holiday to celebrate essential workers

Closed on

We have all come to realise the great importance of essential workers in our every day life, the hard work they do and then absolute dedication shown on the 'front line' . We should have an annual bank holiday celebrating how important they are to all of us across the UK

Parliament should debate, then pass a new rule so that from 2021 we have a new bank holiday in our calendar - always marking these amazing people and what the do.
