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:
The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for holding local referendums.
In any case, to create a new borough council, the Secretary of State or the local authority would need to request a boundary review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE).
You could start a new petition asking the Secretary of State to request a boundary review, if that's what you'd like to happen.
