Rejected petition Close down alternate Dartford crossing site that charge £7.50

Have you been caught out by the £7.50 dartford crossing website??? The alternative to the government website that charges 300% more? En route there are no signs that direct you to the gov.co.uk site and a google search comes up with https://paydartfordcrossingcharge.co.uk/ as the 1st result.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because closing down individual websites is not something the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.

If you feel that the website is operating illegally you can contact Trading Standards:

https://www.gov.uk/find-local-trading-standards-office

You could start a new petition to make it illegal to operate websites that charge to offer alternative ways to access Government services if that is something you would like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
