Mayor to prioritise visit to Euston to meet residents
Labour London Assembly Member for Barnet and Camden Andrew Dismore AM took the opportunity of the Assembly Plenary meeting on Transport to question London Mayor Sadiq Khan about his approach to HS2 (video link https://vimeo.com/169877063).
After question time, Mr Dismore said:
‘I was pleased to see that Sadiq has agreed to an early visit to Euston, to see for himself the consequences of HS2 for the area, and I am following this up, to set a date as soon as possible.
‘From his answers, I believe that Sadiq has a good grasp of the issues, and will do his best to ensure that Camden residents’ interests are defended.
‘He has made the case to HS2 directly, and also understands the deficiencies in HS2’s approach to consulting the local community.
It is also important, that progress is being made about the Crossrail 2 interchange, in particular ensuring that it is part of the main Euston station plan, and avoiding further destruction of homes in Somers Town.’
