101call charges need removing or/& get phone companies to add to inclusive calls
101 non emergency calls are charged at 15p per call. These calls should be FREE due to the reason for calls. Or if not FREE then phone companies should allow them to be included in line rentals inclusive minutes.
I recently tried ringing 101 from my mobile but had reached my non inclusive minutes. So was unable to ring the police to report youths on a roof of a derelict building. We get told to report incidents/issues to the police and to ring 101 for non emergency, so surely to get people to report these non emergency issues/incidents the call needs to be FREE &/or including in phone contract minutes!! Please sort this out

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The Government have announced that they will be making 101 calls free of charge for all members of the public from April 2020. We aren't sure what further action you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
