This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you're concerned about water pollution, but we're not sure exactly what you want the Government or Parliament to do.
There are already offences for:
- discharging poisonous, noxious or polluting matter or solid waste matter into inland freshwater, coastal waters and relevant territorial waters.
- discharging trade or sewage effluent into inland freshwater, coastal waters and relevant territorial waters.
It's unclear what additional actions you want to be made an offence, or if and how you want penalties for existing offences to be changed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
