This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Since you started your petition, the national lockdown has ended. You could start a new petition calling for changes to the current tiered restrictions, if that's what you'd like to see happen.

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