This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Require shops to keep their doors closed to help reduce climate change.
The amount of shops that leave their doors open, even in winter, letting the heat in the store out onto the street is extraordinary. In Wimborne, Dorset today I found 4 shops (Seasalt, White Stuff, Holland & Barrett and Fatface) all with their doors open and heating being blown straight outside.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This would be the responsibility of the shops concerned and not the UK Government and Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to raise awareness of energy efficiency on retail premises if that's something you would like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
