Remove local authority powers to create low emission zones

Petition Details

We believe these zones cause hardship to businesses and those who have to travel for work or family reasons, that there are better solutions, and that the powers local authorities have to create these zones should be removed.

Additional Information

Have you ever noticed how much less traffic there can be when schools are on holiday? Let's have that all year round without closing schools! The Government could fund a 'walking school buses' scheme for preschools & kindergarten schools. For example, 4 adults go to the 1st kid's house, pick them up, walk to the 2nd kid's house, pick them up, & so on. After school, the process is reversed. For a class of 30 that's up to 12,000 car journeys saved a year. It has worked well abroad & we should fund it nationwide here. Over a generation, this could really help reduce car use.
