We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Rejected petition Keep Childrens' Swimming Lessons operating through the next lockdown
With the next lockdown looming we would like to continue to operate our swimming lessons as this is an educational environment and promotes physical and mental well being through the dark winter months.
More details
This is because Government may impose the lockdown, therefore they are the only ones with the power to allow such support.
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. Under the local restriction tiers introduced from 2 December, swimming pools can remain open in all tiers, but 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.
