Rejected petition Free up council houses which are under occupied for people who are over occupied

Not enough large bed roomed houses for large familie's like myself, yet there is people under occupying social housing and not downsizing for families that need them, I feel it is unfair and something needs doing about it.

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. Council housing are the responsibility of your local council and each local council will have its own processes.

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:
