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 police and the courts.
You could start a petition calling for noise nuisance to be made a specific criminal offence, to enable the police to deal with specific cases, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
