Hollesley bay is an open prison with a public access road right through its grounds,there is a primary school within a 4 minute walk and also the Suffolk punch trust which is open to the public where people take their children to play.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The current allocation criteria for Hollesley Bay Prison already states "no current sex offenders". We're therefore not exactly sure what further you want the UK Government or Parliament to take. You may wish to contact the Governor of the prison directly to discuss your concerns.
