Improve the safety and visibility of Outdoor sports facilities at Wandle Park.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

We want a refurbishment of the basketball court in the park, as well as floodlighting to increase visibility.

We would like this to happen so that Players can compete at a high level while reducing the risk of injury, increasing the amount of time people can stay outdoors, and increasing visibility in the area.

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.
