We have a range of articles and advice on our website https://stophs2.org/toolbox
If you are expect to be affected by the operation or construction of HS2, you have the right to petition Parliament about it. We know about people who live a considerable distance from the route who are petitioning.
Given that even supporters of HS2, like Birmingham City council and Centro are petitioning and complaining about slow information from HS2 Ltd, we’d really encourage everyone affected to petition.
Well it took a day to do it but we handed a petition in for Joe Rukin to take to London.I do so hope some sanity prevails and although a lot of stress and £20 have gone into it ,that it helps to improve,even in a small way the devastation that awaits us if it goes ahead.
Glory glory for the petitioners who will save their homes farms and villages from the miatakes of hs2 and cameron and clegg with miliband. Keep the petitions getting to the heartt of the problem in Westminster. Where have all the sensible people gone. Keep producing the petitions in these crucial days please.
