Get the Union involved and enter a disagreement. Its not guaranteed to sort it out but its your best chance.

Unfortunately, its not illegal for the new manager to do this as long as he follows the rules, however, its morally wrong and won't improve morale in your office, or get you helping him when he needs cover, I hope.

Legally they are meant to give you the same amount of notice when cancelling a holiday as the length of the holiday itself.

That is if you have booked next week off, then they must inform you before Monday of THIS week. If the holiday is 3 days then they must give you 3 days notice of cancellation.

The official wording is: An employer can refuse a leave request but they must give as much notice as the amount of leave requested, eg 2 weeks notice if the leave requested was 2 weeks. https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement- ... ng-timeoff" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also as to the take it when you retire comment - hit them with this

Although employers can refuse to give leave at a certain time, they can’t refuse to let workers take the leave at all. https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement- ... ng-timeoff" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Personally, I think I'd just get the whole office to file a grievance each. See how they like that.
How many of you have already booked a foreign holiday based on being told you have those weeks off?
