Rejected petition Give Northumberland the right to become its own country

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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

It's clear that you would like Northumberland to be able to become an independent country, but we're not sure what you would like the UK Parliament or Government to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition calling on the UK Government or Parliament to hold a referendum on Northumbrian independence.

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