Rejected petition Cease daylight-saving clock changes in the U.K.

Remove the requirement to change the clocks forward/backwards in Autumn/Spring respectively and maintain a constant time throughout the year.

More details

I have read articles claiming that the clock changes have adverse effects on our health. Whilst I have not seen the specific research that corroborates that conclusion, my own recent experience with my 9-month-old baby and the clock change's impact on her sleeping pattern has been cause enough for me to question daylight-saving's existence. Appearing as a resolution to a World War era issue, in modern times the disadvantages seem to far outweigh the advantages.
