Permanently close Waterloo bridge to vehicle traffic

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Over the last few days XR has turned Waterloo bridge into a beautiful space for bikes skates and people to meet and talk. I say this should continue and Waterloo bridge should be closed to vehicle traffic and transformed into a new garden bridge project
Failed garden bridge project of 2015 that cost tax payer 15 million was a waste of money let’s put some of the concepts to good use and transform Waterloo bridge

Why it was rejected

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

This would be the responsibility of the local council and not the UK Government or Parliament.
