This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Scrap the expansion of the congestion charge zone.
To prevent the expansion of the congestion charge zone as it will negatively impact those who work and LIVE in these areas. Small businesses will suffer and will no doubt negatively affect the economy.
More details
The extension of the CONGESTION CHARGE to the North and South Circular Roads will certainly negatively impact everyone that live in the proposed area, on the borders and our visitors.
As if people aren't struggling enough after the hit of the governments lock downs and shutdowns this year, causing major job losses. They now propose to extend congestion charge so it covers the same area as ULEZ.

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.
