REVEALED: What you think about shops opening on Boxing Day

Retail workers want the government to ban shops from trading so they can have a day off to spend with family.

We asked what you thought and a huge 86 per cent said they think shops should close on the post-Christmas bank holiday.

Support was strong on Facebook too.

Terry Topliss commented: “No. If we can’t manage for two days with shops being shut its a poor indictment on the way we organise our lives.”

Francesca Jones said: “Open the shops and make all the management and owners who make the stupid decision to open in the first place work the shift!!!!”

Lin Whiteheart agreed and added: “No! Give retail staff at least another day of rest after the Christmas rush!”

Sue Greasley was one of the few in favour of the shops opening and posted: “Yes. Boxing Day sales!”

This sparked reaction from others, with Karen Heathcote suggesting: “Have them the day after! People do not need to spend or go shopping on Boxing day! Give retail workers a break!”
