What the petition asks
Regulate the levels of raw sewage that is currently populating Lough Neagh
Why it was rejected
It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We can’t accept petitions that request action at a local level.
In any case, water quality is devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly. This means that your petition is about something that the Northern Ireland Executive and Northern Ireland Assembly is responsible for.
If you want to raise this issue you could contact your MLA, or raise it with the Northern Ireland Executive.
