Open petition: Make Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve & 2 January bank holidays & seek UK alignment

Created by Mark Ames
Closes on

I would like Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and 2nd January made bank holidays and also for the UK Government to seek to unify all bank holidays throughout the year across the entirety of the UK by working with the Scottish and Northern Irish Governments.

I think this would help with unification and equality across the whole of the UK.
