Reopen closed side roads and put an end to the 24 hour bus lane usage

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

the government needs to look into this matter and reopen all the side roads that they have closed during the pandemic especially in the central London areas. so that we can prevent unnecessary traffic.
parents and key workers who need to use their vehicles are having to leave hours before.
Children are being dropped off to school well before they are due to start. Elderly people who struggle to use public transport are also being effected as this is having major impacts on arrival time for treatments especially when there are meant to be measures in place for social distancing also people who live in these effected areas are not being treated fairly when it comes to delivery's of essential items as drivers are having major issues getting in and out of these areas.
