Rejected petition HS2 - waste of money use funds for high speed fibre optic for every home in the UK

More details

The recent announcement of the govt giving the green light to HS2 is a complete waste of public funds. The benefits of high speed rail in a small country is limited. The money should be invest in more future proof technology such as high speed fibre optic broadband to the home. This would give our digital-economy a massive boost even greater from the jump of dial-up to broadband. Use the money of HS2 to roll out fibre optic to every home in the UK.
