Stop Norfolk County Council from following proposal to close children's centres

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

On Monday 17th September 2018, Norfolk County Council released their proposals to close Children's Centres across Norfolk.

We believe the proposal is flawed and inaccurate, whilst also ignoring the needs of families to children, causing damage to communities and children's futures.

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 Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

You could start a new petition about something the UK Government and Parliament are responsible for. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to provide direct funding to existing children’s centres to prevent more closures, if that's what you'd like to happen.
