Rejected petition I would like to ask you to stop the clean air zone .

Rejected on 3 July 2023

It's wrong to charge people for to drive into Birmingham when the air there is the same as anywhere else 🙄 there is no bubble around Birmingham City centre

My son has had to pay 3 times for just trying to get to work to earn a living for real things people need in life like food rent bills getting to work at the right time so as you don't lose your job 😒 not paying for air thats no different to anywhere else in England the whole thing is so very rong.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about clean air zones are a matter for the relevant local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
