Make Parkrun free forever!

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Parkrun saves this country more money via health and as such should not be charged for "wear and tear " over the grounds it uses!

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 decision to charge for a specific parkrun was taken by Stoke Gifford Parish Council. Local councils are usually responsible for parks.
