Train track barriers for animals

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

I think for animals safety especially pets such as dogs and cats they should put a barrier around the train tracks so no animals can get on to them

For animals safety when they get lost and run off from owners. There’s a lot of dogs been found on the train tracks which have passed away and it’s really annoying that we could do something about it to stop it

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 Parliament are directly responsible for.

Responsibility for looking after the railway, including installation of barriers alongside the railway, is an operational matter for Network Rail. not the Government or Parliament.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
