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.

Local planning decisions are usually the responsibility of your local council.

The Government has designated a Housing Zone in Castleford. That means that the local council with work in partnership with private developers to build more homes, with the help of Government funding.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask the Government to withdraw this funding, or to change the location of the Housing Zone.

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