Business leaders are breathing ‘a sigh of relief’ now the government has given the HS2 rail project the go-ahead, but environmental campaigners are perturbed about the damage the line will cause to nature.

Sub-national transport body Midlands Connect has submitted plans to the government for HS2 services for Nottingham and Leicester, and to the Oakervee Review.

Midlands Connect has published a ‘wholly reasonable’ list of 20 road projects that it wants to see prioritised for development by the government.
