Following the Prime Minister’s announcement today on the future of the HS2 project, Staffordshire County Council leader Alan White said:

“Although we have been opposed to HS2 from the outset, we have remained committed to mitigating both the impact on this county and our people and to maximising the economic benefits to Staffordshire.

“While we understand that there has to be a ceiling to costs of such major infrastructure projects, HS2 has already had a significant, irreversible impact on this county.

“It is important Phase One is now completed as planned and the promised shorter journey times for residents are delivered and the wider growth plans for Stafford fulfilled. We will of course closely monitor future developments, including additional investment in Midlands infrastructure projects, and their potential impact on people and businesses in Staffordshire.”
