Rejected petition Stop congestion charge zone extension to the North & South Circular roads London

Stop the extension of the congestion charge as this will affect the freedom of movement of people within London.

More details

Along with the freedom of movement being reduced like the previous congestion charge this will increase traffic in the surrounding areas. Unlike the previous congestion charge the new proposed zone is generally residential; which would penalise many residents and SME's for living and operating in those areas.

This will have a negative affect for many of us especially SME's as this would increase transport, and operation costs while reducing revenue due to the reduction in footfall.

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:
