This closure will result in many clients/patients not being able to access the support they need, losing their freedom and independence, and negatively affecting their mental health and well-being.  It will also result in people continuing to drive that should have surrendered their license, impacting on their own safety and a danger to other road users.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":11,"created_at":"2025-12-09T14:39:28.064Z","updated_at":"2026-01-16T11:58:43.218Z","rejected_at":"2026-01-16T11:58:37.715Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-12-09T16:08:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"local","details":"We can’t accept petitions that call for action at a local level.\r\n\r\nYou could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue, including by asking them to present a public (paper) petition about this.\r\n\r\nYou can find contact details for your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP\r\n\r\nAnd you can find out how to ask your MP to present a public (paper) petition here: https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/sign-a-petition/paper-petitions/\r\n\r\nYou could also raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you.
