Rejected petition Provide public, social, indoor, areas without an obligation to buy something

It used to be that people could go to pubs. Here they could meet people, find jobs, socialise and relax, and act out an innate urge to commune with others. Now there is too much pressure on people's homes to allow friends in to socialise. Pubs are are not accommodating and parks get dark and wet.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law to require local councils to provide these kinds of areas.

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