Thanks @victoriacook and the team at @BBCLondonNews for raising awareness of our ongoing battle with @HS2ltd to first of all, accept that its noisy night-time works are affecting our community and secondly, find a resolution.

Sometimes you are just blessed with those picture postcard moments demonstrating mother nature at its finest.
I feel like this might have just been one of them, at Rickmansworth Aquadrome this afternoon.
Thanks @holmes_bryn and @mylocalnews_uk for raising awareness of noisy night time work being conducted by HS2.
We are currently in liaison with HS2's community team to discuss how and when noisy work is taking place and what they might be able to do to mitigate against it.

HS2 terminating at Old Oak Common wouldn't work - but when has logic been part of a project that costs 100s of billions £ to shorten a two-hour journey by ten minutes?
Scrap HS2 - use the budget to repair the environmental damage caused so far.

“Practically it just doesn’t work”
In light of @TheSun's report that HS2 will not go to central London, @henrimurison tells @hanrmiller that there aren’t enough platforms at Old Oak Common to deliver a full service between London and Manchester and beyond.
Party politics aside, the new play area and other improvements to the recreation ground should be viewed as a welcome addition to the area.
It's about time that Maple Cross' residents started to benefit from the money that they pay in to the system.

Are you able to provide an explanation for this, @HS2ltd?
@Feargal_Sharkey @RobertLindsay @stophs2 @Hs2Rebellion
The first picture is a winterbourne chalk stream in West Hyde upstream of the discharge point from HS2’s Western Valley Slopes, the second is downstream of the discharge point. Investigations ongoing.

Thanks @Fintan_McG and @Observer_Owl for helping to raise awareness of noisy night-time works being conducted by @HS2ltd.
We hope that the company will find a way to mitigate against the noise that is affecting the area and its residents.

The last few days truly have been a brilliant reminder of just how lucky we are to live in a village surrounded by greenbelt countryside, and why it will always be worth protecting! #MapleCross
Almost a year to the day since we were contacted by @GSTTFoundation offering to share information about their plans to wipe out the green belt around our village... and still no details.
So much for 'reaching out to the community' eh @KieronJBoyle?
We wholeheartedly welcome this pledge from the PM and hope that 'green fields' like those surrounding our village will be safe from destructive housing developments. @gaganmohindra - protect our green belt!
@BorisJohnson - stay true to your word!

We welcome the suggestion that @michaelgove may pause (and hopefully scrap) planning changes that ultimately threaten green belt countryside surrounding villages like ours. Do the right thing, Michael.

The right thing to do with this policy, is to drop it. Villages like ours and the countryside that surrounds us are under enough pressure as it is, without central government setting unrealistic and unnecessary housing targets for councils.
Let's hope @RobertJenrick sees sense!
🚨: Ministers reported to be rethinking damaging planning proposals.
We've been calling on @BorisJohnson to drop these plans. This is a victory for local campaigners all across the country!
Let's give communities the power to shape their future!

We have until 5pm TOMORROW to object to @ThreeRiversDC's plans to destroy hundreds of acres of green belt around Rickmansworth, home to dozens of species of birds, as well as bats & badgers to make way for over 1,700 houses
Please retweet and object here: linktr.ee/protectmaplecross
Thousands of new houses being built on the countryside around Maple Cross will almost certainly lead to an increase in air pollution, as well as construction dust and more vehicle fumes affecting our homes and @MapleCrossJMI. View the plans & object here: linktr.ee/protectmaplecross

We understand @GSTTFoundation is the developer 'masterplanning' the destruction of hundreds of acres of green belt, for the construction of 1,700 houses, some of which will be built less than 100 metres from the M25.
Is this what 'investing in a healthier society' looks like?
