Stop Windsor/Maidenhead Council from issuing £100 fine for rough sleepers.
Firstly, how are the homeless going to pay the fine? They’re not. Resulting in them returning to court and being charged court fees and a victim surcharge, more money which they won’t be able to pay.

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. This is the responsibility of the local council.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor. You can use this page to find out who the local councillors are, and how to contact them:

You could start a new petition calling for the power to issue fines to people who are sleeping rough to be removed from all councils, if that's what you'd like to happen.
