What the petition asks
To change laws, increase powers and deny rights to travellers, who set up illegal camps, trespass and cost tax payers millions.
Travellers have more rights than local residents and it isn't fair or right.
Travellers have more rights than local residents and it isn't fair or right.
Travellers cost us tax payers and councils are having to waste valuable resources. We need more protections against illegal campments
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure what changes to the law you'd like to see. Illegal encampments are already illegal.
