This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Judicial Review of proposals to 'modernise' the Coastguard
More details
We the undersigned request that HM Government instigate a Judicial Review on the proposals to modernise the Coastguard service and close around half of the UK Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centres. In our view the plan is flawed and won't work, valuable local knowledge and situational awareness will be lost by the proposals. Despite what is being said in order to placate the public outcry, staff at existing MRCC's do NOT hold a high level of LOCAL KNOWLEDGE of their 'pair' station's area. In many cases paired station's hardly ever cover their partner station's area, if at all. We feel this in itself is grounds for a Judicial Review.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
Judicial review is a request to the courts to review the Government's actions. It cannot be instigated by the Government itself.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
