Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which local authorities his Department has consulted on the progress of plans for the construction of High Speed 2 since May 2015.

Asked by:
Dr Andrew Murrison (Conservative)

Answer

The Department has conducted four consultations since May 2015, all of which relate in various ways to preparation and planning for the construction of High Speed Two. As these were public consultations, all local authorities were of course able to respond to these. The consultations were:

  • Decision Document HS2 Phase Two: West Midlands to Crewe Property Consultation 2015 (CM 9286). May 2016.
  • High Speed Two Phase 2a: West Midlands to Crewe Design Refinement Consultation (CM 9285). September 2016.
  • HS2 Crewe to Manchester, West Midlands to Leeds: Route Refinement Consultation 2016. (D1) November 2016
  • High Speed Two Phase 2b Crewe to Manchester West Midlands to Leeds: Property Consultation 2016 (D2). November 2016

At the conclusion of each consultation, a list of all respondents is published on GOV.UK

In addition to formal consultation, there is also extensive and ongoing engagement with local authorities along the HS2 line of route.
