"Mr President, HS2 is a flawed EU vanity project. It has no business case, and it will leave our country riddled with debt. It is destroying people’s lives and communities and ripping up graveyards and ancient woodlands. I do not want to see our precious environment ruined by this destructive rail line. The enormous impact it will have on many constituencies from construction work and subsequent blight will affect hundreds of acres of land.
There are still unanswered questions on plans and costs, yet the project is still moving forward against any public wishes. It will only be supporting a minority at the cost of a majority. What passengers want is an affordable, reliable, comfortable and efficient rail network system that delivers from South to North and from East to West. We already have a network in place, but it is desperately in need of improvement, and some additional lines are needed in some areas. The victims of HS2 who have had their lives destroyed have not been awarded adequate compensation. This is a national disgrace."@en1
