This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:


Parking charges are set by local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament. Some councils have chosen to relax parking restrictions in their area, you can find out more on your council's website.

The congestion charge and ULEZ are the responsibility of the London Assembly. Since you started this petition, TfL has suspended road charging schemes:
