The seven Conservative MPs across North
Wales have welcomed the Government’s confirmation that the HS2 project will
proceed.
A spokesperson said: "The Prime Minister reaffirmed
this government’s commitment to the delivery of HS2 as part of the levelling up
of the regions within the UK.
"The economy and life of North Wales are
critically dependent upon its East West links – for business, tourism, leisure,
international travel, higher education, specialist health care and
much more.
"Therefore we completely endorse the Prime
Minister’s statement that ‘many in the north [are] crying out for better
east/west links instead of improved north/south ones.’
"It is vital for the development of North
Wales that plans for its own faster railway service are now included in the
scoping and planning of High Speed North. That starts now by ensuring
that the Crewe Hub is configured accordingly within HS2.
"We will be pressing Ministers in the Welsh
and UK governments for guarantees that this provision will be made.”
