This petition has been rejected because it is not clear what action you would like the UK Government and/or Parliament to take.

You may wish to consider resubmitting this petition with a clear statement of the action you would like taken (for example mothballing the plant so it can be reopened late, take the plant into public ownership, provide a loan to the company on the condition the plant is kept open for a period of time).
