Scrap the 2040 ban on new petrol and diesel cars.

Closed 288 signatures

What the petition asks

Government intend to stop the sale of all new petrol/diesel cars by 2040 with the UK being carbon neutral by 2050. This target date is totally unrealistic given the lack of funding for infrastructural needs. The 2040 ban will also effect the economy with detrimental effect on jobs and industry.
