Rejected petition Create more safe and affordable indoor roller skating venues

We the people would like the government and local authorities, to render more disused indoor spaces. I.e. Sports hall, warehouse and theatre spaces across London for roller skating activities and community groups.

More details

I took up roller skating during the first lockdown, as a keyworker my gym was temporarily suspended and I still needed an outlet to de-stress mentally and physically. I know roller skating saved alot money for the NHS in terms mental and physical health issues.

However, with more and more builds and less investment in communities, and facilities, I would like the government to encourage local authorities and businesses to work with Skate communities and render more safe, affordable skating venues for all to enjoy.

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 which leisure and sport services, including indoor roller skating, are a matter for each local authority and not for the UK Government or Parliament to decide.

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