This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We can't accept petitions about accommodation of asylum seekers in particular areas, as this is an operational matter, not a decision for the Government or House of Commons, but we have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
