What the petition asks

To speak to local authority and help get the local pools open so we can go back to what we love doing and helping children progress through the sporting future pathway. This will help children stay active and healthy as well as learning a vital, potentially life saving skill.

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 aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

Indoor swimming pools were allowed to reopen from 25 July in England. The decision to reopen individual pools is a matter for their operators, not the UK Government or Parliament.
