answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2024 answer text <p>The Department and I are working closely with HS2 Ltd to ensure that, as we deliver the railway, local communities are involved, informed, and treated with the respect they deserve. Construction of a project on the scale of HS2 will inevitably affect many people, including residents of Aylesbury, but a wide range of controls are in place, including a comprehensive Code of Construction Practice, and independent Commissioners, to minimise disruption as far as possible and to respond to any concerns raised. In recognition of those impacts that remain, however, local people may be interested in applying to the HS2 Community and Environment Fund, which provides grant funding for beneficial projects along the line of the route, and to mitigate the impact of HS2 works.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Nottingham South answering member printed Lilian Greenwood question first answered 26/07/2024 13:54:59 answering member 4029 label Biography information for Lilian Greenwood
