Rejected petition Protect the funding given to Remembrance Day services from local government

The RBL has informed members of the Aldridge community that funding has been cut by the local authority, meaning that no further services are able to take place. This devalues the sacrifice made by our armed forces in The World Wars and since then.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Local government funding for Remembrance Day events is a matter for the local authority. You could start a petition on the local authority's website asking them not to cut funding for such events: https://cmispublic.walsall.gov.uk/cmis/ePetitions.aspx

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