Drop charges on scaffolder

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Scaffolder given 26 weeks suspended !!
H&S gone mad, leave the hardworking classes alone

Why it was rejected

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

The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for bringing or dropping charges against someone. It sounds like a matter for the police, although it's not quite clear from your petition what kinds of charges have been made.

You could start a new petition asking for a specific change to health and safety laws, if that's what you want to happen.
