Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

This petition is to allow a statue of John Hurt to be erected in his hometown of Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Why it was rejected

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

This seems to be a decision for the local council to make, rather than the UK Government or Parliament.
