News on HS2 in Staffs

We’ve written the Staffordshire Local Area Engagement Plan to explain how we’ll deliver our Community Strategy in Staffordshire's Phase One section of the new railway between Drayton Bassett and Handsacre. This Local Area Engagement Plan covers works associated with Phase One section only and not the Phase 2a section of the route between Fradley in Staffordshire and Crewe.

The plan sets out how we‘ll engage with communities in Staffordshire to ensure that we meet our commitments and continue to be a good neighbour. This is particularly important in 2019 as we begin our main construction work for Phase One.

This plan:

· introduces you to your local Community Engagement team and partners working on our behalf;

· provides maps showing where our key works are in your area;

· informs you about the different ways you can contact us; and

· explains how we’ll measure how well we’re doing against our 10 Community Commitments.
