Rejected petition Put Closed Circuit TV in all Parks and public spaces

The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government.
It is self evident, from the many repeated lawless activities on our streets and parks, that law and order has begun to break down. The Police appear, through over PC regulations, unable, or unwilling to become involved.

More details

It is therefore crucially essential to have the ability to record criminal activities where they occur. Recent fatal events at Parks have shown how vulnerable these areas have become. This must be addressed immediately by the introduction of CCTV to all Council Parks.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

This is a matter for the local authority or for landowners.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

You could start a petition calling for the Government to provide councils with funding for more CCTV, if that's what you'd like to see happen.

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