Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Ensuring that public spaces are clean and safe is a matter for individual local authorities, and private property is a matter for the owners or tenants of that property, not the Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling for funding for research into different methods, if this is something you would like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
