Rejected petition Stop Norfolk County Council from following proposal to close children's centres
On Monday 17th September 2018, Norfolk County Council released their proposals to close Children's Centres across Norfolk.
We believe the proposal is flawed and inaccurate, whilst also ignoring the needs of families to children, causing damage to communities and children's futures.
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. This 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:
https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
You could start a new petition about something the UK Government and Parliament are responsible for. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to provide direct funding to existing children’s centres to prevent more closures, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
