If you're curious as to where £80 billion of your taxes will be going in the next 10 years then the HS2 road show is taking place at;
Leigh Sports Village Stadium on Friday 22nd November 12pm – 8pm
Sale Way, Leigh, Manchester, WN7 4JY
A report by the Institute of Economic Affairs released today supports the UKIP position that HS2 is a costly and unnecessary project that should be scraped.
The report predicts that the final cost of HS2 may run to over £80 billion. At a time of tremendous economic difficulty for Britain fueled by a bloated state and increasing national debt, this is simply not viable.
"The High-Speed Gravy Train" report also points out that much of the lobbying done for the project to go ahead was done by special interest groups with a vested interest, with the economic case for High Speed 2 not being properly taken into consideration.
