Rejected petition Remove parking charges in Epping Forest

We would like to regain free, unhindered access to Epping Forest all over Essex and Greater London. We ask for removal of parking fees, red lines, barriers. Thank you, Waltham Forest Community

More details

We feel that our freedoms are being slowly taken away since parking restrictions have been introduced. These changes restrict forest access for people on low income, create crowding and limits exploring opportunities for our children. We believe we should have a right in the decision process. Moreover, our community should benefit from a substantial amount of the income generated by these restrictions and changes introduced over the last two years.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Parking charges in and around Epping Forest are a matter for the relevant local authorities and private parking providers, not the UK Government or House of Commons.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here:
