What the petition asks
For years now TRP have been used as a communal prayer place.
It's clear in the TRP policy and regulations, it prohibits collective acts of worship.
The law should be enforcing this rule and banning all acts of worship, or allowing it for everyone.

There are plenty of prayer places for this exact purpose.
They should not be spilling out onto the streets and into the parks.
Our police force should be fully prepared to move these people on and prosecute if necessary.
There should be a rule for all, or for none.

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 Parliament and Government aren't responsible for deciding or enforcing the Royal Parks' collective worship policies.
