Rejected petition Rotate the New Year fireworks display between the 3 capital cities

I think that the New Year fireworks display display should rotate between London, Cardiff and Edinburgh.

More details

This should be done as the UK has 3 capital cities and should be fair for the other two nations to showcase their city on new year instead of it always being London.

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 organising fireworks displays in individual cities are the responsibility of the local authorities in those areas. Decisions about which, if any, display to broadcast on national television are the responsibility of the individual broadcasters.

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