Move the Portsmouth Clean Air Zone boundary

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow the Isle of Wight Wightlink ferry traffic an exit from the Portsmouth Terminal that can avoid the clean air zone, all other docks/ports have been excluded from the clean air zone.

The island is already disadvantaged, so a £50 a day charge is excessive when islanders are not given an alternative route.
The use of other ferry routes would create more pollution due to extra unnecessary drive time.

Why it was rejected

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

Decisions about local clean air zones are a matter for the relevant local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
