LETTER: HS2 would obliterate Chesterfield Canal
We are sacrificing our inheritance on the altar of economic growth. Economic growth requires ever more people who need ever more housing development and infrastructure, year after year after year. Is this giving us a better quality of life? Where will it end?
The restored canal would have been a great asset for North East Derbyshire, especially for leisure opportunities and tourism. HS2 will give us little but blight.
How about a readers’ poll: Would you prefer HS2 or the Chesterfield Canal?
