Remove the Manchester City Council bylaws and allow Skateboarding in the city

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Skateboarding is huge part of Manchester’s culture and people come from all over to skate here. No matter how many skate parks are built, the streets will always be where it belongs. It is a creative, non-violent activity which brings the community together. It harms nobody. Theres no need for a ban

Skateboarding takes youths out of trouble, out of gangs and into a positive and creative community. Skateboarders don’t go out and carry knives, don’t go out to pick fights, they don’t wish to harm anyone, they just want to SKATE. Why disturb the peace?

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 the issue you raise. This is a matter for the local authority in Manchester.
