Chiltern Ridges HS2 Action Group

The results of the Public Consultation on HS2 conducted by the Government were announced in January 2012.The Government came to the view that the many and varied objections they had received - from a wide range of organisations and individuals - were not sufficient to disuade them from progressing with the proposals and therefore confirmed their intention to proceed to the next stage.

The Chiltern Ridges HS2 Action Group (CRAG) was originally created to persuade the Government during consultation that:

HS2 is NOT 'green'
HS2 will NOT deliver wider economic benefits and cure the north/south divide
HS2 is NOT a sound investment - it does not represent value for money
A new railway is NOT needed to solve the rail capacity problem
HS2 will NOT greatly reduce domestic air travel
The UK does NOT need to catch up with Europe - it is still ahead .

This view has not changed and CRAG will therefore continue to work with other organisations to get the HS2 decision reversed.

A collection of artcles from local organisations (February 2012) may be found here and here.
