HS2
Being a Good Neighbour
We recognise HS2 will affect those communities along the route of the new railway and how important it is to deliver this project with compassion and empathy. The HS2 Community Engagement Strategy sets out the ways we will engage with communities and our 10 Community Commitments.
The report covers the six-month period July to December 2019, and brings together a number of case studies of activities during the second half of last year, along with data on the handling of enquiries and complaints, funding awarded and the events we have held.
We have made progress over the last year, but we also recognise there is more to do. As you will see in this report, we are listening to feedback from communities and continuing to identify ways to further improve how we involve, communicate and respond to those communities living alongside the new railway.
