What the petition asks
I and many have experienced the frustration and inconvenience caused by the closure of roads in The Groves and others. Cycling is wonderful and public transport has its place, but when road conditions are poor & bus fares rise and frequency lessens, cars become the only viable option for residents.
As York Council won't do it/listen to their residents.
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 closures are a matter for the relevant local authority, 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: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
