Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Review the Covid-19 tier system
It’s punitive that most of the North, have been placed into Tier 3 highest risk, after the second lockdown, when London are in Tier 2. This needs to be urgently reviewed as a government priority. The Greater Manchester area have worked as hard as have Merseyside area in reducing the R rate.

Why it was rejected

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are unhappy with the Government's decisions about which areas have been put into which Tiers, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petitions calling for changes to the Tiers certain areas have been put into, which you might like to sign:

Put Lancaster into Tier 2 Covid Restrictions: Put Lancaster into Tier 2 Covid Restrictions

Take South Kesteven & South Holland out of Tier 3: Take South Kesteven & South Holland out of Tier 3

Reject Tier 3 restrictions in North East and impose Tier 2 restrictions: Reject Tier 3 restrictions in North East and impose Tier 2 restrictions

If you want the Government to take an action not covered by the above petitions you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
