Add more basketball courts and sport facilities in Thanet

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

To raise money and turn old parks into areas for extra curricular sports to allow for children to grow an ambition for sports and a healthy living especially basketball in places such as Broadstairs

It's important to me that we broaden the perception of our country beyond just football, recognizing and supporting the diverse sporting interests, including basketball, that many fans enjoy.

Why it was rejected

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