HS2 - Consultation extended
The consultation on the Environmental Statement has been
extended to 10 February after HS2 Ltd failed to distribute 877 pages of
documents from electronic versions of the consultation documents. The company
had claimed it had corrected the errors by 16 December, but the Commons
Standing Orders Committee was told that errors still persisted. HS2 said it was
happy to comply with the ruling but claimed:
“The pages that were briefly missing from the Environmental
Statement memory sticks would not have prevented anyone from being able to
respond to the consultation.”
It is encouraging to note that CPRE has taken a more positive stance in challenging a number of important issues, as evidenced by S Spiers comments in The Times.
