People are being told they need to act now in the fight against HS2.

Campaigners from the Stop HS2 group say the Select Committee still has the power to make “significant changes” to the Hybrid Bill which outlines the high speed rail project.

Groups and individuals impacted by the proposed route – which cuts through parts of Lichfield and the surrounding villages – are able to submit petitions.

A petition submission costs £20 and needs to be hand-delivered to Parliament by a representative or their MP by 2pm on May 23.

As part of their campaign to get more people to petition, Stop HS2 has launched a video, were a nine-year-old submits his own one.

Stop HS2 campaign manager Joe Rukin – whose son appears in the video – said: “For four years, HS2 Ltd have been ignoring what people have been saying about how HS2 could cause less of an impact on communities and the countryside, but now everyone has the chance to be heard by people who will actually listen.

“The Committees for both Crossrail and HS1 made significant changes and both of those projects had been planned far more competently than HS2, so it is essential now that anyone who has anything to say about HS2 says it.”
