Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure what you want covered by 'urban areas' because your petition also calls for scooters to be legal in city centres.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
