Rejected petition it would be beneficial to disinfect public areas reduce spread of corona virus

The Corona virus is capable of lingering on surfaces for a week at the least.

Our streets are crowded and overused with high chances of contamination and spread of infection.
We believe it would be beneficial to disinfect public and communal areas to help reduce spread of this disease.

This is a measure that many other nations across the world have taken.

If you agree with our view, please kindly add your signature to this petition so that we may urge the local authorities to take such measures and help us to combat this virus.”

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Ensuring that public spaces are clean and safe is a matter for individual local authorities, and private property is a matter for the owners or tenants of that property, not the Government or Parliament.
