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. This decision is the responsibility of your local council which appears to be Staffordshire County Council.

Staffordshire County Council has its own petitions website: http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/yourcouncil/petitions/Home.aspx

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:

You could start a petition asking for the UK Government to increase funding for councils to fund charities who support vulnerable people in the local area, using the Burton YMCA as an example.

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