Keep Godmanchester bridge open
Rejected

What the petition asks
Keep the bridge open as no passing trade could result in businesses closing and we have already lost enough
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 and bridge closures are a matter for the relevant local authority or authorities, in this case Huntingdon Town Council and Godmanchester Town Council, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here:
