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.

National armed forces day will take place on Saturday 24 June 2017, so we are not sure what further action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

Nottingham city council's involvement in national armed forces day is the responsibility of Nottingham city council, not the UK Government or Parliament.
