What the petition asks
During the U.K. lockdown restricted parking zones outside people’s homes should be lifted
With restricted parking zones on U.K. streets and people not allowed out except for essentials, where are people going to park without offroad parking? It’s unfair and these restrictions should be lifted during this lockdown period
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: Encourage local authorities and private car parks to suspend parking fines
