It’s been revealed that more Mexborough homes are in line for demolition
under HS2 than previously planned, according to new documents which have
outraged the town’s councillors.
Earlier plans showed 19 houses near the River Don would be knocked down
to make way for the controversial rail link.
But the Working Draft Environmental Statement released on Thursday
indicates a total of 63 will go on the Ravenfield to Clayton route,
including 52 from the Shimmer estate.
Mexborough First councillor Sean Gibbons said he thought the final toll
would be much higher — possibly even as many as 200.
“HS2 should be deeply ashamed and it is now certainly time for a much
over-due public inquiry into this whole ‘white elephant’ and the
persistent lies and contempt to local residents, MPs, cllrs and local
authorities etc by HS2 Ltd throughout the whole process.”
