Rejected petition Build More Youth Clubs In Haringey

Open Youth Clubs in Haringey

More details

Since 2010 London has lost 104 Youth Clubs, not only has this lead to a dramatic increase in violence but young people have nowhere to go to get the support we need. By reopening Youth Clubs young people will get off the streets and into a safe nurturing environment. This is particularly important due to COVID-19 as young peoples mental health has suffered and not everyone has an effective support system at home. Youth Clubs will provide emotional, social and physical health benefits.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the UK Government or House of Commons are responsible for.

Local services such as youth centres are a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.

Haringey Council has its own petitions system, which you can find out more about here: https://www.haringey.gov.uk/local-democracy/meetings/petitions
