Petition

Trades against traffic: Make immediate changes to traffic infrastructure.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Employ a capable team of traffic/city engineers to work out a solution for the extremely heavy traffic and plan to allow trade vehicles move more efficiently, without being restricted by weight, parking, buses, cycle lanes or other types of limitations.
The heavy traffic and lack of access is causing loss of business, severe stress and mental anxiety, massive delays in all industries, extended working hours, missing essential appointments and heightened agitation, causing verbal and sometimes physical violence on the road. It is detrimental to workers in small businesses’ mental health.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

Urban Traffic Management is also the responsibility of the relevant local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
