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.

Closed petition Ban the use of any sharp edges on top of fences in residential areas
The Government should make it illegal for any type of spikes or sharp edges on top of fences in residential areas, as these can harm animals and humans.
More details
My cat was injured on a neighbour's fence, they had used chicken wire and left all the sharp edges, which created a hazard. In addition, if a neighbour has installed sharp objects on a fence adjoining my property, and someone in my property injures themselves on this, I could be legally liable.
