review the Mayor of London's decision to enlarge the Ultra Low Emission Zone

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

to restore the democratic rights of the population of Greater London by requiring the Mayor of London to hold a binding referendum on the possibility of enlarging the Ultra Low Emission Zone in a timely manner before any further activity is considered in implementing his unilateral decision

we feel dis-empowered by the Mayor's unilateral decision to ignore the overwhelming opinion offered to him by the recent 'consultation' to reject his proposal to enlarge the Ultra Low Emission Zone. Although the Mayor was democratically elected by a majority of the population we believe it is cavalier of him to seek an opinion of his electorate and then to ignore that decision by citing potential health benefits which have little scientific evidence but is seen as a fund-raising opportunity.

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 issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. It is the responsibility of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
