What the petition asks

I’m a nursery nurse and single parent.East Finchley will become a parking permit area which means I can’t drive to work as there are limited car parking spaces in our school.
Why should I have to pay for a permit when I work at in an East Finchley school?
Provide free permits for workers in schools every one is struggling at the moment we don’t need any extra costs.
