Give emergency workers temporary parking, congestion and ULEZ passes

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Currently emergency workers are having to travel in and out of London by public transport even though it is strongly recommended by Government people don't. Give them the opportunity to drive in and park, reducing the spread into their buildings and teams and back out to families and communities

It is critical that workers are available for as long as possible and as flexibly as possible to provide a service to the public

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started this petition, the Government have announced that they will provide free car parking for all NHS and social care staff. You can read more about this here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-to-provide-free-car-parking-for-nhs-and-social-care-staff

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