Clean up Bournemouth beach, and fine people that litter

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Took my three year old to Bournemouth beach to find broken glass all over the beach and families littering what is meant to be one of the best beaches in Britain. If this is our best beach I’m ashamed to be British.

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 the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for fining people. In any case, it's already possible for people littering to be fined, so we're not sure what additional action you'd like to see.

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:
