Housing for ex veterans and not refugees in East Cambridgeshire

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

There are just over 9,000 ex-service personnel who are homeless and need help. Those who served for Queen and country and for many suffering with PTSD Priorities should be put first to them not Syrian refugees.

Those old MOD buildings should be used for those ex service personnel.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Housing in East Cambridgeshire is the responsibility of East Cambridgeshire district council.
