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 are concerned about reduced delivery of local services, but it's not clear if you want council tax rebates to be required for any loss of service, or only reduced waste collection services.
We can't accept petitions about local matters, so could not accept a petition calling for a rebate in your area, but could accept a petition calling on the Government to introduce new rights to council tax rebates across the country.
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.
