Key workers to be exempt from congestion and ulez charges during covid19 crisis.

Ensure all operational key workers are able to maintain their safety in and out of work by not making them pay the ulez or congestion charge.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. This is the responsibility of the London Assembly.

The Government has agreed a package consisting of a mixture of grants and loans based upon a series of conditions agreed by the mayor, including the reinstatement of the congestion charge: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-grants-transport-for-london-funding-package#:~:text=The%20government%20has%20agreed%20a,gradual%20recovery%20from%20COVID%2D19.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to reimburse people, or particular groups of people, for the cost of the congestion charge, if that is what you want to happen.
