Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions relating to the building of local roads is a matter for the relevant local authority, in this case Kent County Council, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a petition on the Kent County Council website which asks them to commission a second means of accessing the Bridge Estate, if that is something you'd like to see happen. You can find out how to do this here: https://democracy.kent.gov.uk/mgepetitionlistdisplay.aspx?bcr=1.

You could also raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

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