HS2 ACTION GROUP House of Lords Select Committing Hearing - July 20th 2016 Location:12:25pm, Houses of Parliament. Present: Committee:, Charles Holbech ,Malcolm Patterson, Bob Jarrett . The hearing began with Charles Holbech giving a summary of the petition: There would be 1,000 HS2 HGVs and 204 LGVs through Wardington daily.

At the Select Committee Hearing in January, HS2 made some assurances to the effect that it was in the interest of both Wardington Parish Council and HS2 to reduce the traffic through Wardington.

HS2 will also consider extending the haul road between Greatworth and Turweston providing it is economically and technically feasible. HS2 are aware of the cost savings of using the haul road. There are various ways to achieve the mutual objectives and Wardington are

The background is that HS2 need
