Petition · past parliament

Remove no entry signs and road closures implemented since COVID -19 Lockdown.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Remove all road closures and no entry signs with immediate effect that have been implemented across all London borough's since COVID-19 Lockdown.
The road closures are causing more congestion in all the London borough's where there were previously no issues. There was no proper consultation and residents now have reduced entry and exit access along with the Emergency Services, Carers, Doctors etc which forces drivers to take longer routes, increasing fuel consumption, emmisons and congestion on surrounding roads. This also puts vulnerable people and those in need of care at risk by increasing response times.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a matter for the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority.
