Rejected petition Convert tractors to snow ploughs in the winter to keep British roads clear
More details
Every year British roads grind to a halt due to snow fall, costing British businesses millions of pounds and causing endangerment and inconvenience to the British public. We call upon the Government to hire and convert agricultural tractors to snow ploughs in the event of snowfall in order to keep British roads moving.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Apart from the trunk road network (motorways and some A roads), this is a matter for local highway authorities (which are responsible for about 98% of the roads in England).
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
