Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced funding approval for HS2 tunnelling to London Euston, ensuring the high-speed line reaches its central terminus. This follows prior concerns about private investment.
In an address to the House of Commons, Reeves stated, 'Today, we are securing delivery of the project between Old Oak Common and Birmingham and we are committing the funding required to begin tunnelling work to London Euston station.'
Camden Council expressed frustration over HS2's uncertainty, claiming residents face disruption without benefits. Former leader Georgia Gould stressed HS2 must deliver new homes and not abandon the community.
Reeves highlighted that the HS2 project's progression would catalyze private investment, promising jobs and growth in the area around the Euston station.
