In a letter to Rail Minister Lord Hendy, Ian Cooper says Staffordshire has faced years of disruption, uncertainty and blight from the high-speed rail scheme.
Ian has now called for clarity from the Government on the future of the project - after a pause on Phase One was announced last month.
Ian added:
“This pause leaves yet more communities in limbo, facing ongoing disruption, visual and environmental degradation, and unanswered questions about their future.
“We are calling on the Government to make a clear and final decision on the future of both the Phase One and cancelled Phase 2a works in Staffordshire.”
Asks from Government include:
- A statement on the timescales for the completion of Phase One
- Completion or rectification of all outstanding works in the county
- A definitive statement on the cancelled status of Phase 2a
