Suspend transport related charges.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Since there may be restrictions on public transport and travel we would like some assistance with travel.

Suspend Congestion Charge in London
Suspend Parking Fees across UK
Suspend ULEZ charge
Suspend Tolls and other transport related charges

By doing so we will be able to avoid public transport and keep delivering services and staff to businesses everywhere.

Why it was rejected

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

Parking charges are set by local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament. Some councils have chosen to relax parking restrictions in their area, you can find out more on your council's website.

The congestion charge and ULEZ are the responsibility of the London Assembly. Since you started this petition, TfL has suspended road charging schemes:
