Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The erection of memorials is the responsibility of the local authority or organisation upon whose land the memorial is to be erected.
