An arm of the new high speed rail link from London, HS2, is set to pass straight through Trafford and the council and residents have until the end of the month to respond to the government about it.
The part of HS2 that will affect the borough is set to feature an airport station in Hale Barns and a section of the route known as the Golborne link that will pass over the River Bollin, through Warburton and Partington and on to Warrington – connecting Wigan and the West Coast Mainline.
Trafford council, organisations and local people only have until Sunday March 31 to respond to the government’s environmental impact statement for HS2, which is expected to carry around 300,000 passengers per day.
