Daylight savings will start in 2021
Daylight savings will start in 2021, the government has announced. The move is part of a bid to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality.
The change, which will begin on March 29th 2021, means clocks will go forward by an hour.
The government says it wants to “take advantage of lighter evenings to encourage more activity in the evenings”.
What is daylight savings?
“Daylight saving” or “summer time” is when clocks are moved forward by an hour. It means people go to bed and get up an hour earlier than usual.
