Get schools to rent out bikes for students to use.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The goverment can tell schools to install bikes that students can use to ride to school. It will cost £1 a day. It willm obviouslly not stop or slow down polution but I have a feeling it will eventually make a difference.

Why it was rejected

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Introducing a scheme along the lines you have suggested would be a matter for individual schools, not the Government or House of Commons.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide funding for schools to create schemes like this, if that's something you would like to happen.
