This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition Close down UK construction sites during coronavirus lockdown.

Give construction workers financial assistance so that they can join the lockdown imposed on other non key-workers.

More details

Because construction workers are using public transport needed for key workers, making it impossible to keep social distancing in place while commuting. The Government say TfL need to increase services - this is turning into a political debate which will cause unnecessary deaths. The Government should act instead of requiring TfL to act.
