We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee

Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Rejected petition Give the outer London borough’s self autonomy from the GLA.

I would like the government to give a referendum on the outer London boroughs reverting to self governance and leaving the GLA.

More details

The GLA's one-size-fits-all approach often fails to consider the unique needs and circumstances of outer boroughs, leading to policies that may not be beneficial for these areas. For instance, housing policies designed for inner city areas may not suit suburban or rural communities in outer boroughs. Additionally the Ulez expansion is totally inappropriate to the outer boroughs and has negligible effects on pollution while penalising the poorest members of the community.
