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

Responsibility for the opening of specific cemeteries and other burial sites lies with local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

In any event, since you started your petition, Barry Town Council has re-opened Barry Cemetery: http://www.barrytowncouncil.gov.uk/news.php?Action=News.
