What the petition asks
It is common for local and central government contracts to be given to overseas companies thus compromising jobs for UK people. These contracts should be given to UK companies employing UK people whenever possible.
For example Sheffield's supertrams are being built in Spain https://www.railjournal.com/passenger/light-rail/vossloh-despatches-first-sheffield-tram-train/
