Rejected petition Install ground anchors at all London & UK motorcycle parking bays...

Motorcycle theft in London is absolutely out of control with armed thieves cutting through disc locks to wheel bikes away or simply picked up and loaded into the back of vans. Please install ground anchors to significantly reduce the volume of thefts.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Transport for London or the relevant local council is responsible for parking provision, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Transport for London is accountable to the London Assembly.

The London Assembly has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here:

https://www.london.gov.uk/about-us/london-assembly/petitions

You could also contact your local councillor about parking in your area. You can find out who your local councillor is here:

https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to place a legal duty on all councils to provide ground anchors for motorcycles.

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