Create a regional parliament for Northern England
The aim of this petition is for UK parliament to create a regional parliament for Northern England with devolved powers like those retained by the Scottish Parliament.
For too long, governments of all differing political positions have promised Northern England a plethora and multitude of things to which they have failed to uphold; the 'levelling-up' agenda has materialised into Northern businesses and citizens having inadequate financial support over the pandemic; the 'Northern Powerhouse' concept formed into a distant memory and the railways are some of the worst in western Europe. It's time for government to be closer to the people it governs.
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:
This would be a decision for the people who live in this area. You could start a new petition calling for the Government to hold a referendum on this issue, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
