This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is the responsibility of your local council.

You could 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 think that you are referring to proposed closures of day care centres in Widnes. This decision appears to be the responsibility of Halton Borough Council, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling for the UK Government to provide financial rescue packages for nurseries which are facing closure, if that's something that you'd like to see.
