What the petition asks

This has been going on for too long.
Implement traffic calming measure outside schools. Save our children.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about speed limits on local roads are a matter for your local authority, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.

You could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

You can also petition your local council directly. Find out how to petition your council here: https://www.brentwood.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2023-09/Petitions%20Scheme%20-%202019.pdf
