This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Some WW2 pillboxes are already listed buildings, but decisions about whether buildings are listed is a matter for Historic England, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

You can find out more about listed building on Historic England's website: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/what-is-designation/listed-buildings/

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