Save Bersted Cricket Club in Kent from closure.
We, the undersigned, are concerned that Bersted Cricket Club will not be allowed to continue playing cricket on The Green in the heart of Bersted due to restrictive Health and Safety Regulations and Planning Legislation.
Cricket has been played continuously on The Green since 1749 and protests from local residents should not stop this activity at the heart of village life from continuing. If these protests are allowed, cricket and other sports shall be restricted from village greens throughout the country.
We call upon Her Majesty's Government to make a specific exemption to the Health and Safety Regulations and Planning Legislation that would not allow restrictions of this nature to be the basis of protests on these grounds; instead they should be taken into account only in the case of proposed new buildings.
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:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
