Stop public funding of policing for the orange walks

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The Orange Order walks are still allowed to disrupt travel, are policed by public funds & create a noise disruption. We would like to see this practice banned - or at the very least they should be paying for their own policing.

Why it was rejected

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

Policing in Northern Ireland is a devolved responsibility.
