This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Put a stop to extension of Congestion Charge Zone (North and South Circular)
stop the extension or plans to extend congestion charge zone. This is unfair, we have already had to change over cars to meet ULEZ requirements!!
More details
Unfair on people that need to drive into these areas on a daily basis due to work, shopping, school etc. Especially in this current climate where we are unsure of our financial situation, no job security and also if we are to be volunteering as NHS helpers or helping family or friends, we have to pay to help out?
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
It has been reported that the UK Government has suggested that London's congestion zone be extended, but doing so would be a matter for the London Assembly and the London Mayor.
The London Assembly has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here:

The latest Government bailout does not include any requirement to extend the congestion zone: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-bailout-to-keep-london-transport-running
