Ban the construction of a power station in Rattys Lane, Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire
A new power station is planned to be built in Hoddesdon which has major implications for the local area including an increase in traffic, concerns of toxic fumes being released in the atmosphere and carcinogenic ash being deposit in the surrounding areas.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local planning decisions are the responsibility of your local council.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

Once an application is made for the development to take place, all local residents have the right to request that a planning application be ‘called in’ by the Department for Communities and Local Government. This means that it will assess the planning application against certain criteria and decide if a full inquiry is needed. For more information, including the criteria and how to request the call in of a planning application, see:
