Rob Butler MP speaks in HS2 Petitions Debate

Thousands of Aylesbury constituents signed the petition against HS2 which was debated in the UK House of Commons yesterday evening.

In the Westminster Hall debate, I spoke about the anger of local people at this ludicrously expensive white elephant which is devastating our landscape.

I was very pleased to remind Parliament of the absolute opposition of residents to this ridiculous railway, and hammer home the message of the harm it is causing.

Fighting HS2

I am vehemently opposed to HS2 which is ruining our precious countryside but bringing no benefit to the community. The concerns of local residents and businesses must be listened to and addressed, which is why I continuously raise their complaints with HS2 Ltd, its contractors and ministers.
