Change the CPZ fees criteria

What the petition asks
I would like for the government to review the criteria used to calculate the charges to the fees on Controlled Parking Zones.
I think we shouldn't be charged on vehicle's emissions or age when we PARK the vehicle, on a residents' CPZ.
We already pay Road Tax, which is charged on a fair criteria even though the condition of the roads is as we all know, based on the vehicles' emissions, and insurance, fair enough... a charge for parking the vehicle on a residents' CPZ should be symbolic, not the high amount we're expected to pay. Why do we have to pay a high amount of money to keep it parked, not creating emissions?

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The setting of parking charges are a matter for local authorities and private providers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could contact your local authority to encourage them to review how they set parking charges, if that is something you would like to happen.
