This petition was rejected

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. Decisions on local shops and businesses is 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:

www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

You can also petition the council - you can find out more here:

We could accept a petition asking for the UK Government and Parliament to introduce a law limiting the numbers of take away shops in general - for example within a certain radius, if that's what you would like to happen.
