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 UK Government and Parliament aren't directly responsible for providing leisure facilities. Leisure facilities are provided by local councils and private providers.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a petition calling for councils to be required by law to provide women-only exercise facilities.

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