Lift parking and bus lane restrictions for delivery vehicles and drivers
Lift restrictions such as bus lane usage and parking restrictions to enable delivery vehicles and drivers to deliver goods to homes and businesses without having to worry about receiving a fine. Delivery drivers have to pay parking and bus lane fines out of their own pockets.
These are hard times more people are staying at home making parking a van or other delivery vehicles extremely difficult
The public and business need goods to stay afloat so I am proposing that restrictions are lifted on a temporary basis untill the country recovers.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Parking charges and bus lane restrictions 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.
