As England is a right respecting county and there are about 1,318,754+ Muslims alone in London! We think us Muslims have the right to pray all our prayers without missing one.

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 only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about permitting the broadcast of calls to prayer are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to give all religious institutions in England legal rights to broadcast calls to prayer, if that's something you'd like to happen.

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