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 pay of senior council officials is the responsibility of local councils.
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 Parliament and Government are responsible for. For example, you could start a new petition asking for a cap on the salaries of all council officials in England, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
