Make congestion and parking charges exempt when visiting great Ormond Street

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Make congestion charges and parking charges exempt for those traveling to great Ormond Street, parents traveling to great Ormond Street are already under enough pressure with their child being in hospital and don't need added pressure. It's also very costly to eat in and around London.

Because it's very unfair to parents who have multiple appointments at GOSH to have to pay this.
Some family's also have more than one child with complex needs which means they have to travel there more often, a daily congestion charge is £15, the emissions charge is £12.50 and parking isn't easy at all. Thousands of sick children have to visit the hospital every year and parents have to pay these charges regardless of their circumstances.

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 London Congestion Charge is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. This is the responsibility of the London Assembly.
