Work on HS2 halted as Buckinghamshire Council rejects lorry route applications
Buckinghamshire Council has refused to approve lorry route applications serving HS2 sites, believing that the work will bring the county to a standstill.
It means work on the high-speed railway has ground to a halt while the two sides are at loggerheads, with the secretary of state now stepping in to decide how to proceed.
The council claimed HS2 had not provided enough information about HGV movements on the A413/A355 corridor and their impact.
