Community Engagement Strategy and Plans

The Community Engagement Strategy sets out HS2's approach to community engagement and what it means for those who either live or work within the communities along the line of the new railway.The strategy includes 10 commitments that we will use as the basis to measure our success. The strategy will help support our thinking, actions and decision making of both our people and our supply chain. Our aspiration is to be a good neighbour every single day, by respecting the people and communities we impact and being sensitive to their needs, earning our social licence to operate. The Community Engagement Strategy can be found here .

Newsletters, Power Supply Proposals and "In your area" fact sheets explaining the latest plans for Phase 2a, as well as the support available to local communities can be found below.

We regularly talk to communities and understand that the construction of the railway will affect the lives of many people. Our aspiration is to be a good neighbour every single day, by respecting communities and working hard to minimise the impact of construction, while ensuring the various opportunities HS2 creates are available locally. These include jobs, apprenticeships, opportunities for small businesses, as well as supporting local transport improvements and community projects.

We will deliver local community engagement plans for Cheshire. We will publish our plans as they become available on this website. These plans will be updated regularly but please check the Latest News for updates.
