Save Our Services. Don't take away much needed services in children's centres

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There are proposals to change the Netherton children's centre into a 'family wellbeing centre' and chances are we will loose all of the services they currently provide.
Please support us in being heard by the people who plan to take away these precious services!

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. Children´s centres are 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:

We could accept a petition asking for the UK Government to ring fence money specifically for children´s centres, for example.
