Sutton should have more leisure places for young people.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

In the last five years Sutton has lost many leisure places for young people. Starting with the bowling alley and now the theatres in the local area young people are losing their leisure choices. This causes more youth crime and so I propose that by providing more places like this will reduce crime.

Why it was rejected

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