Protect The Exe: Stop Excessive Control & Charges from the Proposed HRO

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Object to the proposed HRO on the grounds that it would impose unnecessary bureaucracy, undermine the independence of local businesses, introduce unclear and potentially onerous licence terms, and grant the Council disproportionate enforcement powers.
Reconsider the HRO and engage in genuine partnership with ALL affected parties.

Why it was rejected

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