Suspend ULEZ and Congestion Zones

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Suspend these zones so vital staff can use their own vehicles to travel to and from work. Also as with more and more station closures being announced their journeys are being made more difficult. It will also help businesses who will be struggling with the loss of revenue.
It will ensure safer journeys for staff who cover 24 hour shifts. Safer as less risk of contamination from the general public if they have the option to use their own vehicles. Also no additional expense driving into these zones
