Do not bring in a fee to use Hampshire Recycling Centres

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Cllr Rob Humby, who is responsible for environment and transport at the county council, said that he would be lobbying the government for a change in the law so residents could be charged to use any tip 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. Recycling is the responsibility of your local 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:

Your local council also has a petitions process - you can find out more about it here: http://www3.hants.gov.uk/haveyoursay/petitions.htm

If you want the UK Government to prevent all local authorities charging for use of waste recycling centers, we could accept a petition on that. The Government has recently held a consultation on this issue.
