  • High Speed Rail (West Midlands to Crewe): Proof of Evidence of Trevor Parkin
    Stone Town Council and Chebsey Parish Council High Speed Rail (West Midlands to Crewe): Proof of evidence of Trevor Parkin 1. Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 My name is Trevor Parkin and I am a Chartered Mining Engineer and Environmental Consultant, with approximately 30 years’ experience in the field of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on medium to large-scale developments. 1.1.2 I am also a resident of Yarnfield, near Stone in Staffordshire, where I have lived for over 21 years, and am one of the founder members of the Stone Railhead Crisis Group (SRCG), which was formed in November 2016. 1.2 Purpose of this report 1.2.1 I will be giving evidence on behalf of the parish councils of Stone and Chebsey, who object to the proposals to construct a Railhead and Infrastructure Maintenance Base – Rail (IMB-R) on land to the west of Stone, Staffordshire. I will also give evidence to address the multitude of problems that the Stone Railhead/IMB-R will cause by proposing that it be moved to Aldersey’s Rough, near to the M6 Keele Services. Further details of my case are provided in the Sift analysis review report dated April 2018. 2. Objections to the Bill 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 My main proof of evidence specifies the works within the Hybrid Bill that I object to. However, here I will focus on the key engineering constraints of the Stone Railhead/IMB-R, which have not been addressed by HS2 Ltd; either in its original design for the site, as submitted in July 2017.
