Get rid of bus lanes in west Belfast

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

With the recent implementation of bus lanes the rush hour traffic in Belfast has changed to the rush 3 hours of traffic. These bus lanes do not encourage drivers to use public transport but only frustrate the majority of the public.

In turn this is increasing the risk of speeding for when the traffic loosens cars often speed out of frustration. We pay our road tax and deserve to use all of the road.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local bus lanes are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
