MP Cheryl Gillan pledges to ensure 'HS2 decisions will do as little damage as possible'

Jan 10 2012

The statement today reflects the Government’s decision to move forward on the proposal for HS2. We are still, relative to the timescales for the project, at the beginning of the process.

I welcome the further steps that have been taken to mitigate the impact on Chesham and Amersham.

I have arranged to meet with the Transport Secretary to ensure that any ultimate decisions on the project and on any route do as little damage as possible to our environment and our local communities and fully compensate all those that could be affected by today’s decision and any future new High Speed line.

Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP
