Rejected petition: Mandate Cooling Measures in UK (including homes, schools, offices & transport).
Rejected on
Require the Government to mandate effective cooling measures in schools, workplaces, public transport, outdoor bus stops and other public buildings to protect people during increasingly frequent and severe heatwaves.
We want the Government to require effective cooling measures in schools, workplaces, public transport, outdoor bus stops and public buildings. Heatwaves are becoming more frequent, causing thousands of heat-related deaths and increasing the risk of heatstroke, dehydration and illness. National standards are needed to protect public health.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We are unclear what you are calling for in regards to effective cooling measures, and how for example, that would work at a bus stop.
