Scrap the 2021 extension of the Ultra Low Emission Zone.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The extension of the ULEZ will cause grave financial harm to 3.5 million people living in the affected areas. These boroughs are home to some of the poorest people in London.The charge of £350 per month is a stealth tax on the poor and will be hugely damaging to people's quality of life.

The costs for providing grants for affected owners to purchase new vehicles that meet the criteria will be substantially lower than the cost of the new infrastructure required for the vastly extended zone, as well as the costs involved in pursuing the fines that people will simply be unable to pay.
The poorest in society should not be penalised by this punitive stealth tax.

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 this would be the responsibility of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly and not the UK Government or Parliament.
