Rejected petition Publish the evidence and legal justification for major public decisions and spending

We are asking councils and Welsh Government to justify the declaration of a “climate emergency”, claims of a housing crisis, large-scale public spending, environmental and wildlife interventions, and the introduction of Digital Data systems. Authorities have failed to provide 'locally specific' evidence demonstrating necessity, proportionality, or lawful justification. Responses often rely on generic or modelled data rather than proof of a local emergency or need. Despite this, these claims are being used to justify major spending, increased housing density, removal of trees and habitats, animal culling, planning changes, and permanent impacts on communities. Many of these decisions are taken by appointed officers using delegated powers, rather than elected councillors.This petition does not oppose housing, environmental protection, or support for vulnerable people.It supports a simple principle: public money cannot be spent, communities cannot be changed, and nature cannot be harmed without evidence, consent, and accountability under the law.
