Rejected petition Delay ULEZ Expansion in London past October 2021 as it Harms the Working-Class
The government either needs to delay ULEZ expansion for 2 years more, fund diesel vehicle owners living in a London Borough (at minimum) a new and ULEZ compliant vehicle or scrap the scheme altogether. People cannot afford for it to come in as planned in October 2021.
More details
People are struggling financially due to COVID-19 and cannot afford to change vehicles. Coronavirus has negatively impacted everyone and the working/lower-class cannot afford to change their vehicles.
How are people meant to survive, unless the government funds them new vehicles? How about delaying this cost, as this pandemic is here for a long time?
People have lost their jobs and this will impact them for years. This cost is unfair as people "went diesel" when the government advised it.
