Two members of the Lichfield Action Group will join other opponents of HS2 to challenge the case for the high-speed rail route at a lobby day at the Houses of Parliament.
The October 25 event, sponsored by Andrea Leadsom, Conservative MP for South Northamptonshire, will be an opportunity for affected MPs and their constituents to discuss and challenge the proposed plans.
Representatives from the Department for Transport and HS2 have been invited to allow a full discussion of the issues surrounding the current plans and how to mitigate the impact on the constituencies through which the proposed line will pass.
The event will be chaired by Sir Paul Hayter, Chairman of the Campaign to Protect Rural England in Northamptonshire.
There are 21 parliamentary constituencies which will be affected by the current route from London to Birmingham and all their MPs have been invited with six local representatives.
Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant will attend the Lobby Day along with representatives from Lichfield City Council and Lichfield District Council.
The Lichfield Action Group (LAG) recently held an open meeting for supporters at which it was decided to set up working groups to decide a future strategy.
