Reject Esso’s Southampton to London Pipeline plans
The route chosen by Esso for its replacement Southampton to London Pipeline is excessively destructive of woodland and natural spaces, felling trees and inflicting major disruption on communities, schools and leisure facilities.
We request that the government calls on Esso to achieve the project in a way which is much less harmful to the environment and which is more sympathetic to communities and open spaces along the entire route.
This is not a petition against the pipeline but a request for it to be re-planned to be less destructive of nature, trees, wildlife, communities and open spaces.
More details on one of the sites affected by the pipeline can be found here: https://www.queenelizabethpark.net
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 only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. The Government or Parliament aren't responsible for deciding which route Esso puts forward for this project.
In any case, the proposal has already been accepted for examination by the Planning Inspectorate. You can find out more about the examination process here:
