What the petition asks

How many more unnecessary deaths have to happen before Cumbria County Council and the Government take action and deliver the infrastructure we need.
It's long over due that Cumbria gets the infrastructure it needs to cope with the amount of traffic in the county.

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. This is the responsibility of Cumbria County Council.

You could raise your 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:
