NOT ON MY LAND! Earl Spencer Leads Blue-Blooded Revolt Against HS2 Trainline

[cinrit]

Earl Spencer and Lord Rothschild are leading a growing revolt by landowners against the Government's High Speed Two rail line.

A string of aristocratic families are among almost 2,000 petitioners lobbying Parliament to stop the controversial scheme going ahead in its current form.

They have joined a chorus of protest from other campaigners who argue that the line will blight property prices, carve up Britain's waterways and threaten countryside idylls.

The new objectors, including Prince William's close friends Nicholas and Alice van Cutsem and the Duke of Wellington's  descendant Lord Richard Wellesley, have made their views public in official petitions to Parliament asking for amendments to the Bill paving the way for the proposed £50 billion link from London to Birmingham.
