Open petition: Make the Lunar New Year an official recognised Bank Holiday

Created by Ashton Jay
Closes on

We want the Government to make the Lunar New Year an official recognised Bank Holiday.

This will embrace other cultures here that could bring people together and create another event to celebrate, as London already has possibly the biggest Lunar New Year celebration outside of Asia.
