HOUSE OF LORDS FINDS “NO CASE FOR HS2”

After months of taking evidence with extensive contributions from Government, HS2 Ltd, supporters and anti-groups, including HS2 Action Alliance, the influential House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee has delivered its verdict on HS2 in a damning report, published today.  

It concludes that “The Government has yet to make a convincing case for proceeding with the project [HS2]” and “the analysis presented to justify the project [HS2] is seriously deficient”.

More details are given in the press release issued by HS2 Action Alliance, here.   

AND ON SATURDAY 11TH APRIL, 11 – 5, AT AMERSHAM FREE CHURCH

Local campaigners opposed to HS2 are getting together to present details of their proposals for extending the tunnel under the Chilterns.  The drop-in information day will include a programme of ten-minute talks by the various presenters.  We will send you further details nearer the time and there will be more information in the local press.
