About Us
STOP HS2 is the national campaign against the UK Government’s High Speed Rail 2 proposal. STOP HS2 is run entirely by volunteers, and is accountable to its members who are all leading figures from local action groups. We have two key objectives:
- To Stop High Speed Two by persuading the Government to scrap the HS2 proposal.
- To facilitiate local and national campaiging against High Speed Two.
The Government’s proposal for a high speed rail link between London and Birmingham will cut through some of the most beautiful countryside and vibrant village communities in England. The HS2 proposals are not just impractical from a noise and disruption perspective, they also fail to make good business, economic or environmental sense.
Our campaign headquarters is at Stop HS2, 129 Warwick Rd, Kenilworth, CV8 1HY and our helpline number is 01926 850039.
HS2 is not just a local or environmental issue, it is political issue, and we will only stop it if we all take action! So please write to your MP now, with any of your objections to the route, design, business case etc. Don’t leave this to others, for we will only succeed if all challenge these proposals as soon as possible. If you haven’t already done so, please sign the Stop HS2 petition here.
Join us and help in our fight to change these damaging proposals, and protect the communities we hold so dear. If you can help please e-mail us at info@stophs2.org.
