Restrict the Animal Rebellion protest at Smithfield from 7th October URGENT
Extinction Rebellion and Animal Rebellion plan to impose a two-week blockade at Smithfield Meat Market from 7th October, attracting up to 10,000 protestors during that time, in an attempt to disrupt business.
Hardworking individuals run their businesses out of Smithfield Meat Market. We are penalised heavily already in the form of diesel prices, vehicle taxes, congestion charging, ULEZ, other compliance such as O' Licence plus the cost of a new fleet of vehicles since the introduction of ULEZ. There is no doubt that the blockade will prevent those businesses to carry out their job, affecting thousands of businesses across the country.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the management of protests is an operational decision for the police and not one for the UK Government or Parliament.
The Mayor of London is responsible for the Metropolitan Police. You could start a petition to the Mayor of London and London Assembly here:
