Closed Petition closed 17th June 2021

Stop work on HS2 immediately and hold a new vote to repeal the legislation - Final Signatures: 155,253

We ask Parliament to repeal the High Speed Rail Bills, 2016 and 2019, as MPs voted on misleading environmental, financial and timetable information provided by the Dept of Transport and HS2 Ltd. It fails to address the conditions of the Paris Accord and costs have risen from £56bn to over £100bn.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 13th September 2021

The Government responsed to this petition on 14th January 2021 (View Full Response)
HS2 will provide essential North-South connectivity, greater capacity and shorter journey times. This railway will play a vital role in delivering the Government’s carbon net zero objectives.
