This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions must contain a clear request for action.

If you wanted the Government to equalise per head infrastructure spending across the regions of England (for example) you could start a petition about that.

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