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 Government is responsible for determining restrictions across England, but decisions about local matters such as the closure of beaches is a matter for individual local authorities, and enforcement of any restrictions is a matter for the local police.

If you want beaches in your area to be closed you may wish to contact your local authority about this.

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