Rejected Improve drainage of cemeteries in Coventry

Rejected on

St Pauls and Lenton Lane cemeteries in Coventry are suffering flooding and in a poor state of disrepair. Coventry Council needs to supply more funding to improve drainage and improve upkeep of graves and grounds.

This is disrespectful to those at rest there and traumatising for families visiting.

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. Local cemeteries are 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:
