Decreasing the high rise cost in petrol, it's unaffordable.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government needs to address this high rise cost in petrol/diesel. With the high cost of living in London. This is very unaffordable for families on low incomes and working class people. We need the petrol costs to be decreased immediately, as this is a massive concern to the public.
The government is responsible for the British citizens, and they have the power to decrease the petrol prices. Families and working class people are struggling with the high rise living costs, and this cannot continue. This is an outrage and our government needs to step in and take action, wages are not increasing. However everything else is increasing, eventually we will not be able to survive financially.
