Stop Islington Council additional £2 per hour for diesel vehicles to park.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The Mayor Of London and the Government already controls what we pay to drive in and around London therefore a local authority has no right to add additional taxes on top of what we already pay.

From Islington Councils web site:

Diesel Surcharge on Short Stay Parking

From January 2018, an additional charge of £2 per hour will apply to all diesel vehicles paying for short stay parking in Islington. This is to help reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality on Islington.

Why it was rejected

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