Environmental Tragedy Stop councils removing our plants

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The councils are the lives of people by removing potted plants as a fire risk

Councils throughout the UK are telling Tenants that they are no longer allowed potted plants on balconies and around front door's. They claim that plants are a fire hazard Even though the plants are not Flammable. Do they realize the damage to the environment (Bees,insects etc)this will help to cause, many tenants living in concrete jungles find the plants very therapeutic and this will affect many peoples lives who are housebound and get their enjoyment from these.
What a gray dismal world we will live in without the colour of our potted plants we have around us.
