Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition RE-OPEN YOUTH CLUBS AND COMMUNITY CENTRES IN THE UK.

We want you to invest in youth clubs, resources and community centres in every Borough in the UK.

More details

We are losing our youth to gangs, violence and grime culture,

We have lost 250 youths in 2019 and 256 in 2020 to knife crime.

1 young person lost is too much.

Every life is precious and deserve a real chance at life and all life has to offer them.

We as a country have lost the interests of our young people and they are turning away from the positive attraction of life,

We are all victims of society and of a government that can do a lot more for its society.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Public buildings, including community centres, can remain open in all areas: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/local-restriction-tiers-what-you-need-to-know

Deciding whether and how to reopen centres that have been closed is a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons. We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide additional funding for community centres and youth clubs due to Covid-19, to ensure they are able to reopen, if that is what you want to happen.

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