Rejected petition Cancel the Luton carnival

I started my career as a police officer in Luton. Having worked the Luton Carnival I can speak first hand of the fear of knowing the gang members (usually from London) significantly outnumbered police officers. Since the cuts this has got worse and the public and officers are unnecessarily at risk!
