Rejected petition Make Watford its own city/town not Greater London

Slough and Watford are perfectly in line if you draw a circle around London, so why is one considered Greater London and the other isn’t? There’s also a big bit of greenery in between Watford and Harrow, so how can they be considered the same place? If Watford is Greater London, Slough should be too

More details

Disassociate Watford from Greater London and make it its own city or town. Either this or you make any other towns around the same distance from central London part of Greater London if not already considered to be.
