Rejected petition Open up the community centres and sports halls to homeless in cold weather.

Just read a news story about a guy freezing to death on the coldest night of the year. It reached -9'c here. Its a simply request, which would help in cold weather, not a quick fix, but a start!

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.

The Government is not responsible for community centres and sports halls.

You could start a new petition calling on Parliament to change the law, to require anyone who is responsible for a community centre or a sports hall to open their premises to homeless people when the temperature falls below a certain level.

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