Tameside Council has for many years proudly supported making St George’s Day a special day for local people. As the patron saint of England it is right that Tameside residents are given the chance to mark this day and to be given the opportunity to wear a red rose which is the national symbol of England, something that local people fully support and something we wish to continue to see happen.
This Council now believes that the time is right to make St George’s Day a national public holiday and will petition the Government to declare it as such.
I the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to make St Georges Day a national bank holiday for all of England. Number of people signed up: 3189
