The road closure has also led to loss of business for local taxi operators who can no longer use the route to pick up fairs from the bars and clubs on adjacent streets.\r\n\r\nWe believe that this road closure is completely unwarranted due to existing provision of traffic light controlled pedestrian crossings on the junction.\r\n\r\nWe demand that Derby City Council reverse it's decision to close The Strand.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2013-02-27T14:39:19.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:54.704Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:40:48.944Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-02-27T14:39:19.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"This is a matter for Derby City Council."},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
