Rejected petition Revamp the Children’s play park on Town End Farm.

Clear up and revamp the play park on the Town End Farm estate in Sunderland and install lockable gates to be locked on a night to stop it getting ruined by older kids.

More details

Our children have no where to play or burn off their energy unless we walk for a couple of mile to the next estate and with young children that can be a problem if people don’t have transport. The park has no swings and rubbish covers the area and it has not been updated in many years so all play equipment is old. There should be high gates that can be locked to stop older children from entering the park after hours and ruining the equipment for the younger children.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about local children's parks are a matter for your local authority, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.

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

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