Cancel HS2 and use the £100bn to provide superfast fibre broadband to EVERY home

Petition Details

The government should invest some of the estimated £100bn from HS2 on full fibre to EVERY HOME and to create digital cities for the future rather than spend it on a controversial and expensive analogue infrastructure project.

Additional Information

The importance of a strong digital infrastructure has never been more evident during the Covid-19 lockdown, and businesses are reconsidering their operating models to allow for greater home working. Whilst there will always be a place for city centre offices and the need to invest in local transport connections, the need to reduce the time from Birmingham to London by 30 minutes is less evident. The roll out of fibre will be quicker and impact the UK economy rapidly and in many positive ways.
