SAVE MILDENHALLS FACTORY SHOP

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Save the jobs of local people from the closure of The Factory Shop in Mildenhall. This shop serves not only the community of Mildenhall but all its surrounding villages.
The Factory Shop is Mildenhalls only shop that offers the range of products covered at great value. Support and sign please

Support for the high streets across the country is vital and market towns like Mildenhall are no exception. Commercial rates and energy costs are having a detrimental effect retail and more government support is required. Online shopping needs a greater taxation to compensate the advantage a lack of overheads offers.

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 the closure of businesses are a matter for their owners, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling for additional taxes on online purchases, to help make high street business more viable.
