UK Citizenship for all EU Citizens lawfully resident in the UK -Simple+LowCost

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

EU Citizens are an important pillar of British society today and make not only a large net contribution to the UK in economic terms ( https://eu-rope.ideasoneurope.eu/2017/10/30/eu-migrants-give-take/ ) but also in so many other ways. They now need your help to gain British Citizenship.
The Windrush Crisis has shown that there can be no confidence in the promises made by the UK government when it comes to the protection of their rights. It is therefore critical that a low cost and simple path to citizenship is given to EU Citizens with PERMANENT RESIDENCY status.

The current cost per application is at least £1200 per person including children and requires hundreds of pages of documentation. They need your help now.
