This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The Government is not responsible for discounts provided by gyms or leisure centres, this is a matter for individual gyms or leisure centres.

We could accept a petition calling for the Government to fund gyms or leisure centre memberships for over 60s, because of the associated health benefits this could bring.

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