Closed petition Require all large shops to close on Boxing Day and New Year's Day this year

Closed on

The Government should extend the requirement for large shops to close on Christmas Day to Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Small shops should be allowed to stay open.

This would give many essential workers a bit of time off over the festive period as a thank you for all their hard work through Covid.
