Stop Andy Burnham imposing extra funding for Greater Manchester police.

Petition Details

Council tax payers already pay for policing in Greater Manchester yet the City Mayor wants to add an extra £10 to each household to cover the cost of the police force failing to operate competently.

Additional Information

Costs like this should not be forced onto council tax payers and councils should be brought to task on there own failings.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about changes to local council tax are a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.

You could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them: www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
