Applications are now open for residents across Phase One and Phase 2a of the HS2 route to become Local Community Representatives. 

As part of the Construction Commissioner Steering Group (CCSG), you will represent your community, share and communicate a range of experiences and perspectives during the construction of the railway, and also help to monitor the performance of the Independent Construction Commissioner (ICC).

HS2 is seeking to recruit a number of Local Community Representatives to sit on the CCSG, which is independent of HS2 and the Department for Transport. The Group meets three to four times a year, in either Birmingham or London (when attending physical meetings) and also virtually.

For more details and to apply, please click on the links below. If you have any questions about the CCSG or about becoming a Local Community Representative, you can also contact: community@hs2.org.uk. Applications close on March 26th.

Whilst I know that many people in our area believe HS2 will bring no positive benefits to South Northants, it is important that residents are able to properly have their say about this project.
