Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. There are a number of policies already in place to incentivise local authorities to bring empty buildings (back) into residential use, for example, the New Homes Bonus. It's not clear what specific action you want to the Government to take in addition to existing schemes.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
