Stop the development of greyhound racing facility at Wolverhampton Racecourse

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the Work on a greyhound racing facility at Wolverhampton Racecourse, to sit alongside the site's horseracing operation.

The new amenity at Dunstall Park, which will include a track and kennels, was given planning permission in 2023.

The kennels are under construction with work then beginning on the track.

They confirmed fixtures currently held at Perry Barr Greyhound stadium would transfer over before the track opened in late autumn.

This needs to stop. We need to stop abusing greyhounds and other racing dogs. This is a backwards step and need to be stopped. Certainly no new units to be opened.

Why it was rejected

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

We have to reject petitions that call for action at a local level.

You could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue, including by asking them to present a public petition about this.
