Rejected petition Delay the London ULEZ congestion zone for another year due to COVID-19 crisis
To delay the London ULEZ zone until October 2022 because many small businesses have not been able to get ULEZ compliant vehicles in time due to the COVID-19 crisis.
More details
The London Mayoral and local elections were delayed for an extended year due to the COVID-19 crisis so it seems fair the government should delay the London ULEZ zone extension for another year to allow many small businesses time to get ULEZ compliant vehicles.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions relating to low emission zones in London are a matter for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly, not the UK Government.
