What the petition asks

Remove the large invasive wooden planters from the Streets in the Chapeltown area Leeds 7. It is causing congestion, drivers cannot turn around in the Street. Drivers are having to reverse out of the Streets. The community feels segregated and want efficent routes.
The large wooden planters are causing obstruction. Cars are having to turn around in tight streets to exit. The planters are invasive and unsightly. Cars are now parking on the pavements, in the middle of the road right in front or next to the planters. The community feels segregated and trapped and want efficent routes via a car. The community are concerned that this will delay the response times of the emergency services such as ambulance.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about street furniture is a matter for your local authority, not the Government or House of Commons.

You can raise your concern directly with Liverpool City Council or a local councillor: https://www.leeds.gov.uk/your-council/councillors-and-democracy/raise-a-local-concern
