Build a network of pathways nationwide for wildlife and people.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

These should be in suitable places to be life-enhancing for people and wildlife.
It would make people happier, healthier and be better for the environment.

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. The building of specific paths are the responsibility of local councils or landowners.

You could start a petition calling for the Government to provide a fund for councils to build paths.
