People have just one day left to comment on HS2 Ltd’s draft environmental statement and design refinement.
The company behind the £42 billion line have held a number of consultation events along the route to give people a chance to take a closer look at the plans and discuss them with HS2 Ltd employees.
In May and June around 5,340 people attended 26 events along phase one of the line, which runs from London to Birmingham through Aylesbury Vale.
Consultations on the environmental statement, which looks at the environmental impact of the line, and design refinement end on Thursday (July 11).
HS2 Ltd’s head of consultation Farahnaz Ashouri said: “These consultations are a crucial step forward for the project and the attendance figures at the events prove that people are willing to engage with us and to give us their views.
“We welcome the feedback we have received so far and we encourage as many people as possible to respond to both consultations.”
Over the next few months the responses to both consultations will be analysed and help inform the preparation of the environmental statement, a key part of the hybrid bill due to be laid in Parliament by the end of this year.
