We live in village with the most complaints about HS2 – our homes shake at night

Residents in the village with the most complaints over HS2 say rural life has been shattered by ‘hellish’ construction works which leaves their houses shaking at night. Fed-up locals in Meriden, West Mids. – which is known as the historic centre of England – say noisy works and living by a ‘giant building site’ is making life a misery. Some have reported being kept awake at night as a result of heavy machinery vibrating their properties as work on the £100bn high speed rail project continues. Villagers have also complained of traffic chaos caused by lorries and diggers accessing the site as well as picturesque countryside being “carved up”.
