Rejected petition Don't Split The Formby Community

More details

I strongly condemn the boundary commission plan to split our community of Formby into two separate constituencies; one half to merge with Southport and the other to join a new constituency of Maghull. Our historic town beats with one heart. our twin wards, Harrington and ravenmeols, joined at the hip, should not be separated.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This is a matter for the Boundary Commission for England which is independent of Government. The BCE is currently conducting a consultation into its latest Boundary review and would welcome comments from members of the public. Please visit the BCE website for further information.

Following the conclusion of the consultation process and the publication of the final plans for the new boundaries, we will be able to consider publishing e-petitions on the issue. At that point, you may want to consier resubmitting your e-petition.

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