Sutton should have more leisure places for young people.

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.
