Redirect funding given to High Speed Two to the NHS

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Government to reverse its decision on Notice to proceed for all routes on High Speed Two and relevantly put that money into NHS.
Covid19 clearly demonstrates the need for correct public tax payment money to be allocated where the public benefits most, nurses and doctors on the front line are paid properly and kept safe with much needed equipment and upgrades to medical facilities nationwide

Why it was rejected

Cancel HS2 and use the money for the NHS and local economies, post Covid-19.
