Crewe and Nantwich residents are being urged to have their say in the latest consultation for phase 2a of the HS2 scheme.
Phase 2a will connect the controversial high speed rail line to Crewe from Birmingham and Crewe.
HS2 Ltd has today announced the formal start of construction on the project which will eventually connect South Cheshire to London in under an hour.
It follows the announcement in April when Department for Transport gave approval for HS2 Ltd to issue Notice to Proceed to the four Main Works Civils Contractors working on the project.

Cheshire East Council is set to play a key role in making decisions on HS2’s construction and design.
The council agreed on Thursday (July 18) to become a ‘qualifying authority’ for Phase 2a – the route between Crewe and Birmingham – in parts of the high-speed rail route that sit in the borough.

Cheshire East Council chiefs could be forced to review their local plan if MPs give the green light for HS2 to hit Cheshire.
The authority adopted its local plan strategy for up to 2030 last July – three years after it was told to go back to the drawing board after submitting its first draft to the planning inspectorate.
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.
