Prevent TFL from introducing Toll charge on Blackwall Tunnel & Silvertown Tunnel

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

TFL intends to introduce a toll charge on Blackwall Tunnel & Silvertown Tunnel when the new Silverton Tunnel is commissioned for usage, we want the government to put an end to TFL's desired plan to charge users for use of this tunnel.

TFL has introduced many new charges for usage of roads in London while Londoners are already facing a pocket squeezing cost of living crisis, this is yet another blow to the average person living within London.

Sadiq Khan should be prevented by all means to make decisions for his constituents in matters he has not discussed with anyone under his constituency.

TFL say this is to pay for maintenance while their website says otherwise (Reality: discourage driving in London)

Why it was rejected

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

The London Assembly is responsible for Transport for London. You can start a petition with the Assembly here: https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/petitions

Alternatively, we could accept a petition calling for the Government to prevent traffic authorities from charging tolls for roads.
