Trouble on the tracks.
High speed train link (HS2) is the planned new high speed rail network connecting London with the West midlands and running lines on to Manchester and Leeds. The route will follow the dismantled railway corridor south and west of Culcheth. Are there many disadvantages for the residents in Culcheth? This will have a devastating impact on Culcheth, a village off 8,600 people in 3,500 households.
The train will get passengers to London a lot faster but is it worth getting rid of the linear park, a local park used by families and dog walkers, and spend millions on arriving in London one hour quicker? Losing this local park would have a massive impact on the residents of this peaceful village.
The train won’t just impact the village it will also disrupt the learning of young children at a local primary school next to the linear park. If it disrupts the learning it may affect the children’s education which would be a waste of supplies and time.
With the amount of money it’s going to cost the people of the village would rather it be spent on something more useful to the public or supplies for the school.
Many people think the HS2 rail link is going to be a bad thing. Some people will have their houses knocked down to make way for the link. This has made people extremely angry.
However, other people will want to sell their homes as the rail line will be so close by. They will find it very difficult to sell their homes because the value will have decreased. Who’d want to live next to a noisy train track?
What will be the environmental impact? The impact would be huge. The linear park always has dog walkers in there so if they go ahead with the HS2 then were are the dog walkers going to go? The high speed train link (HS2) is going to go straight through peaceful linear park.
Although the HS2 link has advantages for some we feel there are more disadvantages for the residents of Culcheth.
