The government has overseen unprecedented public land sales and hostile legislation that restricts or even criminalises the lifestyles of gypsy, Roma, waterways and other nomadic peoples who are already routinely denied access to basic services and democracy because they don't have a postcode.

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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Parliamentary constituencies are based on locations rather than characteristics. It's already possible for people with no fixed abode to register to vote:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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