Overview

• The Burton Green HS2 'green tunnel' is approximately 70% complete, but construction has split the village in two, disrupting the community.
• Residents report severe noise, vibrations, and dust six days a week, with some describing their living conditions as unbearable.
• Thousands of trees in an ancient woodland have been cleared for the project, displacing wildlife and altering the local landscape.
• Homeowners fear property values could drop by up to £100,000 due to the proximity of the construction site and its long-term impact.
• HS2 Ltd has implemented mitigation measures, including a new village hall and plans to restore green spaces, but residents remain deeply dissatisfied.
