Rejected petition Make college parking free for college students

I want to be able to drive to college and park my car without paying £30+ a week just to go to college and get my education.

More details

Not everyone is able to pay £30 just to park people still need to buy gas and this is college students we are talking about, young people in full time education, trying to go get their education but they can’t because bus fare is expensive and so is parking.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Car parking arrangements, including charges are the responsibility of individual colleges, not the UK Government or Parliament. You may wish to raise this issue directly with the management of your college.

We could accept a petition calling for the UK Government to provide funding to college students to help pay for their travel costs, including parking if that's something that you'd like to see.

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