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.

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:

Local authorities have powers to require clean up of land when its condition is adversely affecting the amenity of the local area. If it is a public health problem, such as a rat infestation, it is the responsibility of the environmental health team at the local authority to investigate and decide whether there was a need to take further action.
