Rejected
13 signatures
What the petition asks
To close all non essential construction sites such as housing. Only keep sites open that contribute to emergency services.
It is not possible to meet the social distancing guidelines while on a construction site. Manual handling, smoking areas, offices, canteens, toilets and travel. Housing construction sites are NOT essential to helping the NHS and saving citizens from COVID. Protect our nation by closing non essential sites.
