Rejected petition Clean the wye river and fine all people responsible for polluting the river

Clean the wye and Monnow river so people can use the rivers in the summer

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about managing pollution in the River Wye are a matter for the relevant local authorities and environmental agencies, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

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