Rejected petition Disband the Road Haulage Association
The Road Haulage Association has failed as an industry body to address the shortfall in driver numbers. Consequently, UK supply chains are running dangerously low causing shortages of vital supplies such as food and fuel.
More details
Remove Rod McKenzie from his post for causing fuel shortages and disband the body before replacing it with a modern and fit for purpose organisation.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
As a private trade body, any decision to wind up the RHA would be a matter for its members, not the UK Government or Parliament.
In any case, we can't accept petitions relating to appointments, including petitions which call for someone to be given, or to lose, a particular job, as petitions cannot override someone's contractual rights.
You could have a petition calling on the Government to commission a review into issues affecting the road haulage sector, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
