Despite the impacts of the pandemic on people's lives and income, Londoners will be hit harder if the Government implements increased fares or imposes new tax on public transport and extends the congestion charge area to the North and South Circular. Such draconian plan of the Government will impose more burden on the Londoners.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
It has been reported that the UK Government has suggested that London's congestion zone be extended, but doing so would be a matter for the London Assembly and the London Mayor.
The London Assembly has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here:
