MAY Day bank holiday could be a thing of the past if the Government goes ahead with a strategy laid out by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
The 50-page document suggests moving the public holiday to an earlier date in spring or to the autumn time to either kick start the holiday season or keep it going longer.
Dates put forward include St George’s Day on April 23 or the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21.
What do you think? Is it wrong to scrap the historic day of celebration, would it be more patriotic to change it St George’s day or would a later date help to break up the end of the year? Vote in the poll and have your say below...
