Re open Atherton police station , Greater Manchester

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

With crime rates rising rapidly in the local area , and no where near enough policing to cope with these issues , I believe the re opening of Atherton Police Station on a full time basis should be very carefully looked into and Some type of temporary measures put into place.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
