Keyworkers should be exempt from the London Congestion Charge.
Keyworkers who are have and have been vital during the pandmic. They should not have to pay the london congestion charge to be able to drive to and from work (Which has been more beneficial during social distancing).
Keyworkers have been working selflessly to help others.
Many keyworkers within healthcare work shifts, 0730 to 20:00 or 1930 to 0800, the new extensions would exclude the possibility of driving to work on a day shift. The roads are not "congested" during those hours. Please consider excempting keyworkers as a thank you.
