Rejected petition Reduce petrol prices
Rejected on
I want the government to reduce tax on fuel and help drive the petrol providers to reduce the cost of what we pay
In january 2021 I was paying £1.04 a litre the price has dramatically increase to £1.60, ridiculous! The government reduced it by 5p a litre and went to £1.55 but it has again increased to £1.66 more than what it was when you made any reduction it now costs Me almost 20% of my salary just to get to work and considering all the recent price hikes I might not be able to afford to go to work
