1,060 signatures
What the petition asks
We urge the government to mandate the installation of 6ft fences in all military family housing to enhance security, privacy, and well-being. We request the standardisation of 6ft fencing in ALL military housing, Ensure that all new and existing military homes have 6ft fences as a minimum standard.
We think this could:
Increase Security for Military Families
Reduce the risk of unauthorized access
Prevent outsiders from having visibility into homes, which can be a security threat.
Deter potential criminals or hostile actors from targeting military families.
Improve privacy and well-being
Support families, especially when service members are deployed, by giving them a greater sense of safety.
Provide children and pets with a secure outdoor space to play
