Improve drainage of cemeteries in Coventry

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

St Pauls and Lenton Lane cemeteries in Coventry are suffering flooding and in a poor state of disrepair. Coventry Council needs to supply more funding to improve drainage and improve upkeep of graves and grounds.

This is disrespectful to those at rest there and traumatising for families visiting.

Why it was rejected

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