This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Community centres are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

We could accept a petition calling on the UK Government to provide more money to local councils specifically to help keep community centres open.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
