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 Get rid of the bus lane on the North Circular, A406 in Edmonton/ Palmers Green
I would like the 24/7 bus/ taxi lane in the area of Palmers Green/ Edmonton on the north circular road, prior to pymmes road, another lane.
More details
There is a huge amount of congestion and traffic that happens on that particular road, which is resulted as of the bus lane. There are hardly any buses that drive on this road for it to be a full time bus and taxi lane. If this bus lane was to go, and it be replaced with another lane for drivers, it would reduce the amount of congestion, making it a safer, less polluted place for London.
