Including the most vulnerable people in our society. Stop the systematic decline in the workforce for the profit of private companies.","additional_details":"The closure of ticket offices is purely profit driven and has been a target for many years. The Taxpayers' subsidies will still be paid into the Railway only for more profits to go towards private shareholders and the public receiving less service. Ticket office staff already do cleaning, passenger assistance, refunds and ticket machine maintenance as well as being a deterrent for anti-social behaviour.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2023-02-03T21:21:11.675Z","updated_at":"2023-02-10T09:33:02.391Z","rejected_at":"2023-02-10T09:33:02.394Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2023-02-03T21:33:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for the same action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/622391"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
