Statement from County Council On HS2 Rail Announcement

 

Regarding today’s announcement about the HS2 route to Leeds, which passes through Leicestershire, a county council spokesman said:

“We need to look at this announcement in detail and will do so quickly but we are concerned already about the possible adverse impact on communities in north west Leicestershire and the proposed Roxhill development near the airport, plus questions about how Leicestershire passengers can connect with the HS2 service.

“The Leader has already expressed his concerns and the matter will be considered through the Council’s decision-making processes.”
