Rejected petition Move the Portsmouth Clean Air Zone boundary

Allow the Isle of Wight Wightlink ferry traffic an exit from the Portsmouth Terminal that can avoid the clean air zone, all other docks/ports have been excluded from the clean air zone.

More details

The island is already disadvantaged, so a £50 a day charge is excessive when islanders are not given an alternative route.
The use of other ferry routes would create more pollution due to extra unnecessary drive time.
