Change the way congestion and emissions zones are charged.
I would like to see congestion and emissions zone charges without such harsh 'penalty charge' policies.
Drivers must pay congestion and/or emissions zone charges within 24 hours or face an £80 'penalty charge' - a policy which I'm sure anyone would agree is exceptionally unreasonable. I would like to see a letter sent stating the original fee is due to be paid within 14 days, and only if the original fee is not paid within those 14 days should the fee be doubled (and therefore becomes a 'penalty charge'), and doubled again for every subsequent failed payment.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Road charging schemes and emissions zones are run by local councils, or the London Assembly/Mayor of London for the ULEZ.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

If your petition related to the London congestion zone, you can petition the London Assembly directly: www.london.gov.uk/about-us/london-assembly/petitions
