Open until 26th February, it will cover the the natural environment and the impact of HS2 construction traffic in the area.

Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant said:

> “It also seeks views on local transport provision and whether upgrades to existing railway stations, new railway stations or new rail lines are needed to connect to the scheme.   
>  
> “I hope that all those affected by this scheme, which I opposed in Parliament, will contribute to the consultation.”

Further information on the consultation and how to respond is available at [www.hs2.org.uk/phase2a](http://www.hs2.org.uk/phase2a?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).

Transport Minister Andrew Stephenson said:

> “Royal Assent to the Bill for Phase 2a from Birmingham to Crewe, which we expect to receive shortly, will mark a major milestone for the scheme.  
>  
> “After a number of years of route and scheme development and consultation, and over three years of consideration by Parliament, the scheme is now settled, and is entering the delivery phase.  
>  
> “However, the passing of the Bill does not mean the end of engagement with local communities. Indeed, it is only the beginning of a renewed effort to try to mitigate the impacts of the HS2 works on them and I look forward to hearing views in response to this consultation.”
