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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like to happen. We're not sure exactly what you mean by a higher security infrastructure or exactly where this would be implemented.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action, for example to increase police funding or to fund increased security in schools, if those are things you want to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
