COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE

Last week the Transport Secretary, Justine Greening, announced she was postponing the decision on the future of HS2, the high-speed rail project running from London to Birmingham, in order to review all the relevant factors. The Alliance welcomed this decision as we believe that the Government has failed to make a sound business case. The decision will now be announced in the New Year, giving us all the opportunity to raise our concerns once more about the project. 
Whether you live along the route or elsewhere in the country, it is important you make your voice heard, which you can do by emailing the Transport Secretary or your MP with your concerns. All you need to do is click here, click on "email your MP" or "Transport Secretary" and fill in your details – it is as simple as that.
