Keep our air clean. We don’t want to go back to how it was!
Accelerate the use of electric vehicles by giving private owners the same tax breaks as companies now. Increase road tax on the worst petrol and diesel engines and accelerate there demise while helping people to switch. Also roll out the increased ULEZ zone now and increase the charge. Let us breath
Because air pollution causes more deaths than covid-19. Up to 36,000 a year. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a better more progressive U.K. let’s not waste it.

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 understand that you are concerned about emissions, but it's not exactly what action you want the Government to take, and the Government isn't responsible for one of the things you have requested.
We can't accept petitions about the ULEZ because this is the responsibility of the London Assembly, not the UK Government or House of Commons.
We have published the following related petitions which you might like to sign:
Protect the Environment – support carbon neutral energy alternatives: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300000
Publish new carbon budgets linked to the Paris Agreement and Climate Change Act: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300178
Ban the manufacture and sale of new cars that are solely powered by fossil fuels: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/319725
If you want the Government to take a specific action not covered by the above, such as increasing road tax or increasing incentives for ULEV owners, you could start a new petition requesting this.
