Rejected petition Remove Congestion Charge at week-ends
The City churches are open on Sundays and the additional £15.00 Congestion Charge is an extra cost for disabled who cannot travel by public transport and need the use of car in addition to the cost of fuel and parking charge - This is an revenue through the back door and not a 'Green' agenda.
More details
The Mayor decision is against Christians coming to worship in Churches, in the City of London - Churches are suffering due to lack of attendance and needs urgent help once the social distance rule is abandoned.
