Having discovered the e-Petitions section on the Downing Street web site, I thought I may as well put fingers to keyboard and ‘pen’ my own petition.
One of the things which really annoys me in this day and age is why there hasn’t been more progress on successfully implementing telecommuting and allowing people to work from home more. With the advances in telecommunications technology and the sharp rise in broadband rollout why are we not leveraging this to reduce the amount of traffic on the road and thus alleviate congestion and help the environment to boot.
If you are interested, please have a look at my e-Petition [http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/teleworkingtaxbr/] and if you agree then please add your name. It would be nice to think that by the power of the Internet and a bit of viral information dissemination we could maybe get this moved up the rankings.

Well my first foray into e-petitions has been a bit of a damp squib with only 41 signatories before the closing date. I can only conclude from this that either people don’t agree with my suggestion, not may people saw it or people are too apathetic to enter a few details on a web form. Unfortunately I suspect the latter to be the closest to the truth
