MORE than 150 people crammed into a village hall on Sunday to listen to a member of the Chilterns Conservation Board speak on what it says is the only acceptable solution if HS2 goes ahead.
Ray Payne from the public body spoke at the Great Missenden Memorial Hall and said the CCB remain opposed to HS2 because it believes it is not in the national interest.
But he said if the Government continue to push it forward the railway line should take the shortest possible route through the Chilterns AONB and be fully tunnelled.
All at the meeting were in agreement with the CCB’s position that if this scheme proceeds a fully bored tunnel is the only acceptable solution.
More to come.
