Rejected petition Close down construction sites during Covid-19 outbreak

Rejected on 27 March 2020

Sign to shut down construction sites during Covid-19, for the protection of us all with family members and loved ones being forced to ignore government guidelines.

This issue needs bringing to the forefront as my beloved partner and the many other people in the construction industry are not just putting themselves at unnecessary risk but by being forced to ignore the current advice, are in turn putting their loved ones at an unnecessary risk also. Social distancing advice is being flouted across some of the biggest construction firms in the UK. Construction sites must halt all proceedings during lockdown to maintain the safety of workers and their families
