Rejected petition: Give Local Taxpayers a Vote on County of Sanctuary Status
Rejected on
Give local taxpayers and residents the right to vote on whether their county becomes or remains a County of Sanctuary, ensuring decisions affecting local communities, services and public resources are subject to local democratic consent.
We call on the Government to give local taxpayers and residents the right to clear, factual information and the opportunity to vote before their county becomes or remains a County of Sanctuary.
Councils and City of Sanctuary UK trustees should provide full transparency on costs, funding, commitments, decision-making processes and local impacts, allowing residents to make an informed choice.
No accreditation without informed local consent and a public vote.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is a matter for the local authorities concerned.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
