This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand you are concerned about city centres, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, whether you would only like measures to support small businesses to apply to those in cities, or all small businesses.

Parking policies are the responsibility of local councils, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Help independent businesses creating regeneration in struggling High Streets: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300250

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
