What the petition asks
To prevent the expansion of the congestion charge zone as it will negatively impact those who work and LIVE in these areas. Small businesses will suffer and will no doubt negatively affect the economy.
The extension of the CONGESTION CHARGE to the North and South Circular Roads will certainly negatively impact everyone that live in the proposed area, on the borders and our visitors.
As if people aren't struggling enough after the hit of the governments lock downs and shutdowns this year, causing major job losses. They now propose to extend congestion charge so it covers the same area as ULEZ.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
It has been reported that the UK Government has suggested that London's congestion zone be extended, but doing so would be a matter for the London Assembly and the London Mayor.
