Step too far; VOTE NO to sewage pipe on historic land mark Jacobs ladder
Rejected

What the petition asks
Jacobs ladder is part of the culture on St Helena. St Helena runs the risk of tourists seeing the ladder as being “spoilt” thus seeking other holiday destinations that are not spoilt. Councillors need to re-think such a structure and its impact on the island as a whole.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is the responsibility of the St Helena Government, not the UK Government and Parliament.
