HS2 compensation
Source: Rod
HS2 will be 1km from my home so I am an unashamed NIMBY. There are many more SEBYS (That is: HS2 is fine just as long as it is in Someone Else's Back Yard).
The real fight is to preserve our precious Chilterns and avoid the years of destruction during construction. The Government is scratching around to find £5bn to stimulate the economy and improve infrastructure. Just think what could be done with £33bn which will otherwise be spent on a very questionable project.
As for compensation? For the vast majority like me it does not exist.
