Close down unnecessary construction sites

What the petition asks
Close down all unnecessary construction sites, working on a university or a school is not necessary.. people are travelling all over the uk to different sites on a weekly basis.
Construction workers are coming home to familys when they have traveled to some of the most affected areas.. you are putting our familys at risk.. putting a school or a university on hold for a couple of month is safer than spreading the virus.. how do you expect people on a building site to keep a safe 2m distance when they have to lift things together and need to be in a close space at times, it's impossible to keep a safe distance.. they are not key workers and are not needed
