This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Rebates are a matter for local government and this petition anyway deals with action at a local level - and our Standards do not allow petitions which are about action at a local level, especially on matters outwith the central government's remit

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