This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition To tackle the homelessness in Manchester. We should not have homelessness
I have been through bad times in my life and I have had no help rather than be lucky to have good friends within the Church to house me. We should not be having homelessness in a rich country like UK!
More details
Manchester is full of homeless people with animals as only companion. Why should human beings be sleeping on the streets whilst Government sleep comfortably with their rich salaries?
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. Housing and homelessness in your local areas is 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:
https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
You can also petition your local council - you can find out more here:

If you would like the Government or Parliament to take a specific action to address homelessness across the country, you could start a new petition asking for that.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
