What the petition asks
We need lights for the court at night and also need new rims
A lot of youth spend majority of their time at the court which helps to keep children and young adults away from knife crimes and violence.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Responsibility for local amenities is a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
