Green Party disappointed as Government speeds towards HS2

23 February 2017

*Caroline Russell AM: “The Government must be held to account over its terrible decision to squander our limited resources”

The Green Party is disappointed the HS2 Bill will receive royal assent today [1] and has pledged to keep standing up for the environment and local communities.

Caroline Russell, Green Party transport spokesperson and London Assembly Member, said:

“Today is a sad day for campaigners who have worked tirelessly to stop this wasteful project going ahead, but we’ll keep on fighting to protect the local communities and environment from the damage threatened by HS2.

“The risks far outweigh any potential benefits and it’s staggering so much money will be poured into HS2 when better transport projects improving local rail networks desperately need investment. The Government must be held to account over its terrible decision to squander our limited resources on a project that will save only a few minutes on trips between London and Birmingham.”

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to draw ecological ‘red line’

According to the “Guidelines on Drawing Up and Safeguarding Ecological Red Line,” the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, together with the regions along the Yangtze River Economic Belt, need to draw up a “red line” for ecological protection by the end of 2017, while other areas should come up with a “red line” before the end of 2018.

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the regions along the Yangtze River Economic Belt are under China’s two key development strategies, and the decision to draw up the ecological red lines are deemed complementary to the strategies.

The red lines are based on China’s administrative divisions, but will eventually ensure the completeness of the ecological system across the country.
