Rejected petition Free 15min parking per session in all local authority designated parking areas.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This would be a decision for local councils, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could start a new petition calling on Parliament to change the law, to require all councils to offer 15 minutes of free parking in all local authority parking spaces.

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