Rejected petition Stop any rises in travel passes for further education students

Cornwall council has announced subsidised travel passes for further education students will cost more to purchase, with a possible 50% increase, although this seems like a local issue other local authorities may have similar plans and could affect students nationwide, prices are too high already.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Concessionary travel passes for further education students are the responsibility of local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise this with your local council. You can find out who your local councillor is here:

You could start a petition asking for the UK Government to stop local councils from being able to raise the cost of concessionary travel passes by more than a certain amount.

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