More details
I have been told that the local council can no longer afford to rid our drains of rodents .I and many others have seen rodents roaming our streets they carry diseases and fleas which are bad for our health and pets .Please sign my petition today to gain the funding needed to sort this problem out.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about this kind of spending are the responsibility of local councils, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to give Peterborough Council more funding overall. You could use the problems with rodents as an example of why more funding for the council is needed.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
