Without Shirley’s infectious enthusiasm this project would not have happened. Shirley gave unstintingly of her time and energy to protect the area she loved from HS2, but she also knew the importance of assembling robust evidence, using recognised research methods and arming oneself with the relevant facts and figures to fight a cause. Drive and determination had to matched by the evidence. Shirley wanted a proper baseline study on the value of tourism threatened by HS2. At her specific request we raised the money and commissioned Tourism South East, a specialist tourist organisation with a research arm, to undertake the study. The Chilterns Conservation Board, where Shirley had been a dedicated board member for 10 years, kindly agreed to manage the project. Shirley’s wish was to petition to the Select Committee. Through this report she will.

  • The HS2 Environmental Statement
    HS2 ES Response Vn 2.0 02 Feb 2014 The HS2 Environmental Statement A response to the HS2 Environmental Statement, prepared by The Chesham Society Leather Lane 1 HS2 ES Response Vn 2.0 02 Feb 2014 Disclaimer The society is strongly opposed to the construction of HS2, principally because The original choice of route was ill-informed and misguided, the subsequent implementation has been very badly managed by the DfT and its creation (HS2 Ltd), and the claimed economic benefits have been shown to be greatly exaggerated by many financial commentators. The route through the AoNB was originally chosen to maximise speed, while DfT now say the line is needed ‘to increase capacity’. Less than half the line is in a tunnel, and the mitigation measures proposed for the remainder appear completely ineffectual. The degradation of the Missenden valley will have a long term impact on the attractiveness of the area as a destination for walkers and cyclists, which will lead to a decline in demand for local businesses . We wish to place on record our objection to the HS2 scheme as a whole, on the grounds that No convincing business case has been made for it None of the various justifications for the scheme (speed, carbon emission reduction, capacity, rebalancing the economy, reducing London house prices …) have survived independent scrutiny. It is of no conceivable benefit to residents of Buckinghamshire, whereas the 51m alternative1 (to upgrade existing railways, so enhancing the overall connectivity) would be of some benefit. As taxpayers, we consider ourselves to be directly and specifically affected by all aspects of the scheme, and so reserve the right to petition against any such aspects as may be discovered subsequent to the insultingly short period which has been granted for consultation on this document.
