HS2 Hub station plan for Crewe

Crewe and Nantwich residents can have their say on the planned high-speed HS2 rail link for South Cheshire.

The Government announced its preferred route last month, which includes a high-speed service from Crewe to London in 58 minutes.

There could be two services per hour and a maintenance depot at Basford sidings, creating up to 300 jobs.

However some residents have concerns about the environmental impact the line could have.

Cheshire East Council has published a detailed breakdown of where the line would run  and now wants to hear what the people think as part of a public consultation effort.

An official consultation period on the route is expected to be held by the Government later this year.

Cllr Michael Jones, Leader of Cheshire East, said: “Whilst we are delighted the plans will bring a huge economic boost to Cheshire East and the surrounding area, bringing in jobs, investment and stimulating growth, we also understand some areas will have some serious questions about how it affects them.

“Our job is to listen to people and make a case to the Government about how we want them to move forward with the HS2 proposals.

“We want to hear from everybody, whether it be residents, town and parish councils, businesses or anybody else whom the Department for Transport’s HS2 plans could impact upon in some way.

“I expect there to be plenty of feedback, both good and bad.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
