Ease the housing and homeless crisis by allowing residential use of caravans

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

With today’s housing costs and shortage as well as the homeless population increasing it makes sense to use the thousand of very affordable caravans available for sale or for rental.

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 it's about something that the UK Government or Parliament isn't responsible for.

Provision of accommodation for homeless people is the responsibility of local authorities.

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:
