Select Committee report

Looks as if the select committee report seems to think that the STOP HS2 supporters have a lot of right on their side!  Hooray for common sense!

HM Government on-line e-petition

Your opportunity to add your name to a new anti HS2 petition which is on HM Government new e-petition site. This petition has just been launched and we need to drive it onwards and upwards by adding our names to it and telling everyone that we know, wherever they are, that they can add their names too


It does not matter how many other petitions your name is already on - it needs to be on this one!  Why not do it now and take the time to send an e-mail to everyone that you know. Thank you

OUR BIGGEST DANGER IS LAZINESS AND APATHY. If people do not think, or cannot be bothered to look, they will start another anti HS2 petition and dilute the first one - we want to end up with one petition with 100,000 signatures, not 100,000 petitions each with one signature. How many people have you heard suggest that HS2 will not happen because of the latest wave of world financial problems? Maybe the international financial crisis will stop HS2 but, in the meantime, I am going to try to get as many people to add their names to the e-petition as I can - I hope you will too.


Remember to pass this exact link on, probably by email, to all those that you think you can get to add their names to this important petition
