More details
We are residents of Henderson street in Manchester who have had to put up with businesses and landlords who are illegally dumping their waste in our bins and creating a major health hazard, we not only feel this is an ongoing issue for us but also a major issue for many residents beyond levenshulme and Burnage and for the residents of other areas in Manchester too.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about local enforcement of fines for illegal waste disposal is a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
You could raise this 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: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
