Halt work on HS2 and Stonehenge Tunnel until Coronavirus over

Petition Details

The Government should not be resourcing high-cost projects like HS2 & Smart Motorways when money is needed to fund NHS treatment for everyone who gets the Coronavirus. The possibility that the NHS is unable to treat all sectors of the population because of insufficient resources is unacceptable.

Additional Information

If 60% of UK population of 67.7 million develops C19 and the death rate is as high as 4% we could be looking at 1.6 million deaths. It would be totally unacceptable for the elderly or already health compromised not be treated. High cost, public projects such as HS2, the Stonehenge Tunnel and refurbishing Houses of Parliament should be put on hold and the money used to fight C19, save lives and help small businesses.
