Remove the newly imposed low traffic neighbourhoods in London

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

These new LTN's that have appeared in the name of covid are a huge nuisance to communities and commuters alike. Covid is being used as a smokescreen by the cycling lobby which only make up 10% of the daily commute around London.
These closures will have a devastating effect on everybody including the emergency services and non emergency services like Locksmiths, plumbers and electricians as well as couriers, care workers, food delivery companies and anyone else who has to use their own vehicles. It is now taking twice as long to complete a run of service calls/deliveries as it did before these blockages were implemented.

Why it was rejected

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

Responsibility for local roads in London is shared between Transport for London and the Greater London Authority. You could submit a petition to the Greater London Authority asking for a response from Transport for London.
