Government Funding for Small Businesses effected by the London ULEZ Expansion.
Provide support and grants for small businesses to purchase ULEZ compliant work vehicles.
Many businesses/Sole Traders that operate and are located within the new Ultra Low Emissions Zone will not be able to afford to upgrade their work vehicles.
For example, if you take a small gardening business that has 3 - 4 vans out on the road and none of them meet the Emissions standards, they would be looking at a large sum of money to buy new ones. Even with finance they would be looking at 2k a month.
This would have huge effect on these types of business.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about grant schemes in relation to the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) are a matter for the Mayor London and London Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament.
The Mayor of London has announced a new vehicle scrappage scheme to help eligible Londoners prepare for the expansion of the ULEZ. This includes payments for micro businesses and sole traders for scrapping vans.
You can find out more about this scheme here: tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone/scrappage-schemes
The London Assembly has its own petitions process. If you would like to call for changes to London's scrappage schemes you can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here: www.london.gov.uk/about-us/london-assembly/petitions
