More council, police and youth support to address vandalism in Kidbrooke

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Increase police presence and action in parks and public spaces, especially during after-school hours.

Provide more funding and support to the local council to offer affordable, accessible after-school activities.

Invest in community initiatives and events to help bring residents together.

Bikes and mobility scooters have been dumped in the park pond.

Weapons have been found, and people have been robbed in broad daylight, raising serious concerns.

There have been reports of sexually inappropriate behaviour in the park, making it very unsafe for families.

Many young people have nowhere to go after school, increasing the risk of them getting involved in anti-social behaviour.

The community cares but needs real support to make Kidbrooke safer and more positive for everyone.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
