This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Reduce the Birmingham Clean Air penalty charge and daily charge rate by 50%.
We want parliament to reduce the charge for both penalties and daily rate charge by a minimum of 50%. Offsetting the already extortionate fuel costs. This not only affects personal vehicles but commercial vehicles. Increasing costs for services and products.

Cost of living is rising with no reprieve. In order to elevate the pressure on drivers and businesses that need to access the Birmingham Clean Air Zone, a cut to these charges is almost certainly needed. By a minimum of 50%.
