What the petition asks

We want the government to listen to the British public regarding the number of illegal immigrants arriving by boat and being housed in our city.This situation is placing a significant financial burden on working class taxpayers, who are struggling with rising costs while funding and support services

The government should listen to the British people because undocumented migration has a direct impact on local communities, public safety, and the cost of living. Working taxpayers are facing rising taxes and financial pressure while funding accommodation and services, often without consultation or transparency. Ignoring public concern risks increasing social tension, undermining trust in government, and placing further strain on already overstretched public services and families

Why it was rejected

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