Hints Action Group

Is run entirely by volunteers with the primary objective of stopping HS2. However, we are fully committed to participating in the HS2 Community Forums to make the case for state of the art mitigation of environmental impacts on Bourne Vale and its ancient woodlands, the conservation area, the village and surrounding areas.

We are part of the AGAHST Federation. The Federation includes around 70 local action groups and national groups STOP HS2 and HS2 Action Alliance. We actively fund raise to support the Federation to continue the campaign and the Judicial Reviews which have been taken by HS2AA on our behalf to ensure the government do not ignore environmental issues and that those affected are fairly treated. We are always looking for volunteers to help us in this campaign. We particularly need help with fund raising.
