What the petition asks
To demonstrate support for Ukraine, I would like the UK to echo Lithuania and Latvia, where the roads of Russian Embassies have been renamed; for example in Lithuania its been changed to 'Ukrainian Heroes Street'.
I believe Kensington Palace Gardens is part of The Crown Estate, and therefore the proposed change ought to be debated in Parliament.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about local road names are a matter for the relevant local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
