My petition:

Keep the May 1st 2023 Bank Holiday on that date and not move it to May 
8th

Do not take the decision to move the Spring Bank Holiday again for the 
second time in 3 years. Please consider more fully the negative effect 
this can have on peoples' long made plans and commitments, whether in 
leisure activities, manufacturing lead times or other endeavours.

In May 2020 the Spring Bank Holiday was moved to May 8th at short 
notice. This affected many long-planned events, costing money (as in 
cancelled flights/hotels, advertising costs) and with great 
inconvenience to organisers. Does parliament not get the effect this had 
on many Bank Holiday plans, including many traditional festivals with 
international followings. Anyone wishing to celebrate the King's 
coronation has the Friday, Saturday and Sunday - why do we need the 
Monday as well?
