Transform the HS2 route into a safe and sustainable cycle and pedestrian route

Closed 142 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to halt HS2 and convert the route into a cycle/walking route through the heart of the Country.

It would preserve the route for the future but in the meantime it would create a fabulous and sustainable facility for all to enjoy and would be world leading.
This would allow the Government to save billions. It will also help encourage more exercise in a safe environment that could help improve and address national mental health and obesity issues that we face. It would also create a sustainable no-car route across the country.
