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 Do not make residing on land without consent in or with a vehicle an offence

Provisions in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill would make residing on public or private land without consent in or with a vehicle a criminal offence punishable by removal of vehicles. We believe this puts the already vulnerable travelling communities at risk.

More details

We believe Travellers who need to travel to find work could be unfairly targeted by these provisions. The confiscation of vehicles could make many members of the Travelling community homeless as they live in their vehicles.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
