NOP CONSUMER POLL RESULTS

Over the last few years, Keep Sunday Special has commissioned a number of polls from NOP. Here are a few of the findings.

71% of people say that they would not be bothered if the larger shops closed on Sundays so long as local convenience stores continued to open.

Almost half (46%) of people questioned think that shopping on a Sunday can add to people's overall stress levels at the weekend.

Three out of four people say they would rather be assured of one day a week to spend with family and friends than to have extra hours to shop on a Sunday.

87% of those questioned think that it is important for family stability and community life to have a common day off each week.

71% of people think that employers should not have the right to require employees (excluding those in the emergency services) to work regularly on a Sunday.
