Closed petition Require people to work from home if they can

Closed on 10 February 2023

Require remote working when it's possible, if someone still needs to work in a specific location require that their employer provide appropriate justification as well as offer relocation assistance so that the employee can live within easy walking or cycling distance of their workplace.

As Covid proved, a lot of journeys are unnecessary and many people can work remotely which had a massive impact on fuel demand and emissions. Reducing the need for travel will provide significant benefits to people especially with the current record high fuel prices. Reducing unnecessary travel also benefits the environment and reduces congestion for those who still need to travel.
