Rejected petition Cancel Belfast St. Patrick's Day due to coronavirus risk

We would like the Government or Parliament to enforce this action due to the growing fear among community. The ability to focus or concentrate is affected in addition to the growing fears of the Corona-virus.

More details

In our view, the government and health officials around the world are more 'reactive' rather than 'proactive'. We would like the government to force councils to cancel St. Patrick's Day celebrations in the coming weeks or as soon as possible, in addition to taking necessary actions to prevent further spread.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The parade has now been cancelled.

In any case, this isn't a matter for the UK Government or Parliament, but for the local authority in Belfast.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
