Rejected petition: Stop the councils from restricting the display of the national standards.
Rejected on
We want you to stop restricting our use of our national standards.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
There are national rules that councils may simply be adhering to (link below) - but insofar as councils may be making decisions above and beyond them it is not the Government's responsibility.
