Rejected petition Stop closing public byways during the winter months across the United Kingdom

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. The decision to close public byways during the winter appears to be one taken by your local council, and not the UK Government.

You could raise this 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:

You could start a new petition asking for the UK Government to ban the closure of public byways during the winter.

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