This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Ban the use of lawnmowers after 8pm
On the long summer evenings having put the children to bed, the last thing anyone wants to hear is the drone of a lawn mower.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
Councils must already look into complaints about noise that could be a ‘statutory nuisance. For the noise to count as a statutory nuisance it must do one of the following:
• unreasonably and substantially interfere with the use or enjoyment of a home or other premises
• injure health or be likely to injure health
We're not sure exactly what further action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
