It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what action your petition is asking for. Car tax (vehicle excise duty) is the responsibility of the Government, not local councils.

If you're concerned about something that your local council is doing, you could contact a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
