This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Cctv cameras in uk in deserted areas to avoid crime.
Crime is increasing too much these days. Having cctv camera's in deserted areas will reduce number of crimes. People will be scared that they are going to be tracked down and wont do anything bad. We all will live in a safe and secure country.
More details
Recently a attack of murder in rochdale has happened. The murder took place in a deserted area. If cctv cameras were there this incident wouldn't have took place.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The installation of CCTV is the responsibility of your local council.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to require all councils to install CCTV in certain types of places, if that's what you want to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
