Remove congestion charge during coronavirus crisis
Whilst there are such travel restrictions in place and the with the WHO recommendation of self isolation it is crucial that people can choose to travel to work in their own vehicle without being penalised by the congestion charge. This charge must be temporarily removed with immediate effect.
Right now so many work sectors are shutting down and others are struggling to continue. We must support the people who can keep working and them not be financially penalised for it.
