Dear Visitor,
Welcome back after the Summer. HS2AA work has continued during the last couple of months and here is an update on activities:
HS2AA submitted their response to the HS2 Consultation back in July. The consultation closed on the 29 July 2011 with a reported 40,000 responses and a clear majority opposing the scheme.
A new Stop HS2 online petition has had to be created on the government’s website after the previous ‘Go’ petition ran into problems. The issues surrounding the previous petition have been reported in The Independent. Please ensure you sign, and encourage all those that you know to sign up, yet again, to this new petition. Don’t forget, to make your vote count you must acknowledge the response from the government website (which might have gone into your spam folder).
Take a look at our Latest News on the website. You will find our most recent blog 'begg-ering belief', information on HS2 polls, HS2AA’s analysis on the DFT’s and HS2 Ltd’s responses to the Transport Select Committee, links to the New Rail Manifesto produced by AGAHST, of which HS2AA is part, and more.
HS2AA have also published their 5 core messages:
- HS2 is a waste of money and wrong priority
- The business case is flawed
- HS2 can't cure the North South divide
- There are better alternatives to improving our railways
- The environmental case has collapsed

regards,
HS2 AA
