{"links":{"self":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/771406.json"},"data":{"type":"petition","id":771406,"attributes":{"action":"Fund the construction of outdoor pools in England","background":"Many young lives have been lost in Yorkshire alone, due to drowning in rivers and reservoirs. I believe open air swimming pools could prevent this by allowing children to take a dip somewhere else during the increasingly hotter summers; deterring them from swimming in rivers or reservoirs.","additional_details":"The Government’s funding of the construction of open air public swimming pools in local areas could deter children from swimming in local rivers, where many children have died. Hotter summers can lead to greater danger for children, as they may swim in bodies of water that are less safe.\r\n \r\nI believe we need to prioritise our future generations. The Government could fund the construction of public swimming pools in local parks or open air spaces.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":70,"closing_date":"2027-01-06","created_at":"2026-06-01T22:17:05.961Z","updated_at":"2026-07-10T15:05:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-07-06T08:00:31.911Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-02T06:38:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Joanne Pattison","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MHCLG","name":"Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-housing-communities-local-government"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"Canada","code":"CA","signature_count":1},{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":69}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Barnsley North","ons_code":"E14001074","mp":"Rt Hon Dan Jarvis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Barnsley South","ons_code":"E14001075","mp":"Stephanie Peacock MP","signature_count":5},{"name":"Bolsover","ons_code":"E14001109","mp":"Natalie Fleet MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bolton South and Walkden","ons_code":"E14001111","mp":"Yasmin Qureshi MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chorley","ons_code":"E14001170","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Doncaster North","ons_code":"E14001200","mp":"Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP","signature_count":7},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hazel Grove","ons_code":"E14001277","mp":"Lisa Smart MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Leeds South","ons_code":"E14001323","mp":"Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Normanton and Hemsworth","ons_code":"E14001383","mp":"Jon Trickett MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Rawmarsh and Conisbrough","ons_code":"E14001436","mp":"Rt Hon John Healey MP","signature_count":44},{"name":"Rother Valley","ons_code":"E14001451","mp":"Jake Richards MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Swindon South","ons_code":"E14001537","mp":"Rt Hon Heidi Alexander MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":4},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":62},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":2},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
