HS2 Buckinghamshire

[Le Sanglier]

i hope there are gonna be some big protest camps,real shame if it goes ahead unhindered.

 

Yeah great, cost the taxpayer more money.

but i thought it was gonna pull us out of recession by job creation?or are the government telling fibs?

[nick channer]

its not the HS2 itself that has got everyones baCk up, its the route... the HS2 came about under a labour government and it was those who choose the route opposed to the one going through dunstable,luton etc... labour knew they had no followers in the route through the chilterns whereas the other route, they had great following...

everyone thought once this lot got in they'd change route as they promised before the election...

Hi Nick,

Now you have more local knowledge than me about this, and I take your views on this more seriously than someone who is looking forward to setting up a crusty camp, so could you provide some evidence that the Tories said they would change the route.

all im trying to say is i hope that not everyone is gonna roll over and let even more of our green and pleasnt land get destroyed in the name of progress without some sort of fight.my views are as valid as anyone elses.

i'm sure i can find some.... at all the rally's it was talked about how in parliment the tories were gonna change the route if ever it went ahead... i've read in local magazines of the same thing..

all the banners that are upo in area basically say they were lead up the garden path when they voted..... the route goes right past the chequers estate which is good enough reason... were not just talkin about something like putting an extra lane on the M25 or a new by-pass.... this is total destruction of thousands of acres of land from amersham to midlands.... i was in warwickshire while back and saw the route going across a block of arable land and woodland.. there musta been 400 acres and it goes straight through middle...... not a main road or by-pass in sight.. surely a rail line running near enough parallel with M1 70% of way will have less impact..

Of course they are, no argument there. Just don't agree thats all.

I am not certain the people in the way of that route will agree.

Thanks for replying anyway, not entirely convinced of the broken promise theory.

I have a feeling this might run for a while.

the other route would of cost far less.... they say this is costing so much cos of the route its taking and the amount of compensation involved.. less than 2 miles from me they are payin 4.5 million in compo for a small holding and a listed house that both will be flattend... funny how listed buildings dont matter now....
