Petition Action

Scrap the cost of travelling to work and parking for NHS and other keyworkers.

Petition Details

Abolish fares for NHS staff and keyworkers who use public transport to and from work. Refund costs incurred since the lockdown was declared. Help with fuel costs and lift parking restrictions for those who drive to work.

Additional Information

If only essential travel is permitted then those who have to travel shouldn't have to pay for it. Nor should they be penalised if car parks are full. NHS staff are risking their lives and all keyworkers are vital. Having to use public transport further endangers them. Let's help the ones who are helping us all.
