Stop referring to Kirklees in relation to covid figures & break it down to areas

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Break down Kirklees into separate regions to more accurately report Covid 19 figures.
The Government reports figures in relation to Kirklees. Kirklees consists of numerous areas e.g. Holme Valley, Colne Valley, Huddersfield, Dearne Valley, Cleckheaton and North Kirklees. There is a difference in Covid figures between these areas but we are all been associated with an overall figure as Kirklees rather than the individual locations which is how it should be reported. By breaking it down to region it gives greater awareness of problem areas and keeps the public accurately informed.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The Government publishes data that can be viewed by nation, region, or tier of local authority. If you want the Government to publish more granular data, such as by ward, you could start a petition requesting this.
