Rejected petition Call for a ban on the appleby horse fair
Rejected on
Over the past three years, Appleby horse fair has developed from a celebration of the gypsy traveling community, in to a festival in which a beautiful local town looses all sense of control and resigns to the laws of travellers.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the Appleby Horse Fair.
There is a Multi-Agency Strategic Co-ordinating Group (MASCG) which brings together various local agencies, including loca councils and police.
