High speed rail plan hits the web
Residents can keep up to date with news on the proposals for the High Speed Rail link (HS2) on a new dedicated Warwickshire County Council website.
By visiting http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/hs2 can view maps of the proposed route, fact sheets and answers to various questions about the scheme.
Links to Government documents outlining the consultation process for the proposed Exceptional Hardship Scheme for those potentially affected by the project are included. The closing date for this is 20 May 2010.
The latest addition to the website is a series of answers from HS2 Ltd, the Government appointed company responsible for the proposed rail link, to direct questions from Warwickshire County Council. This covers topics from noise impacts to economic benefits.
The County Council wants to ensure that Warwickshire residents are kept informed during this process and are joining with the borough, district, town and parish councils affected to ensure this happens.
The dedicated internet site has a wealth of useful information and links for people to find out more about the proposed scheme.
