Emergency service spotters to have a place to sit outside the stations.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

I want emergency service spotters to be able to sit down when they are spotting the vehicles and be comfortable waiting for the vehicles to pull out. They'd be positioned outside the station gates. Such as, police stations, fire stations and ambulance stations.
I feel it'd be so useful instead of just standing there waiting. It makes us look so weird when we're just stood there taking pictures but if there was a bench they would know why we are taking pictures.

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 seating outside of emergency services stations is a matter for local authorities and the individual stations, not the UK Government or Parliament.
