Grant Gibraltar special designated status within the EU.
Political tensions have risen again over Gibraltar's status since Brexit, and without a credible answer, we could see their people suffer the consequences of leaving the EU worse than any other place in the UK's jurisdiction.

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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure what you mean by "grant Gibraltar special designated status".
In any case, the status of Gibraltar after the UK leaves the EU would be a decision for the EU and not solely for the UK Government.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the Government to negotiate specific arrangements for Gibraltar after the UK leaves the EU, if that's what you'd like to happen.
