Rejected petition Remove car allowance and car related expenses for all LTN supporting politicians

Politicians who believe so strongly in LTNs should be upholding their values rather than projecting them in the public. These politicians need to use LTNs in actuality rather than declaring their benefits in theory.

More details

We call on the government to immediately stop approving and paying all car/car related expenses for LTN supporting politicians.

We call on the government to ensure that if Boris Johnson or Grant Schapps need to travel in a motorised vehicle, they are only permitted to do so via public transport and not in a personal or private vehicle.

There is adequate CCTV on those modes. If good safe enough for protection of the public, it is good enough for those who travel with an entourage of bodyguards.
