I would like to see the government improve traffic flow in and around Clapham

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like to see the government improve traffic flow in and around Clapham, Mitcham, Streatham and Brixton by widening the high street; removing 20 MPH speed limits and removing no entries/ one way systems. This will give motorists and road users more room and make it safer for road users.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Roads in London are the responsibility of local councils and Transport for London (TfL).

TfL is accountable to the London Assembly. The London Assembly has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here:
