Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Licensing conditions for taxis in England are set by local authorities, or in London by the Mayor of London. You may wish to consider contacting your local authority or starting a petition if they provide a local e-petitions system.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
