Yesterday Sir David Higgins gave his report into phase 2 of the HS2 project.
During his speech and indeed in the written report, he clearly states that ‘alternative station sites to the west of Toton’ are to be investigated to improve connectivity to the existing road and rail network.
However he has since gone on record stating that the only site being investigated is Breaston.
As community leaders we believe that Breaston residents have been kept in the dark about key decisions that affect them and this continued uncertainty is very worrying.
That is why we have called a Public Meeting this Friday, 31st October, at Breaston Scout HQ, Blind Lane, beginning at 5:30pm. We have also invited representatives from both the Department for Transport and HS2 Limited to explain their case to residents.
