More than 550 properties along the Yorkshire route of Phase 2b were bought by the taxpayer through HS2 Ltd because they were set to be levelled by the railway.

These properties will now be offered back to their former owners at the current market value

😂

It’s salting the earth so nobody can bring it back.

No-one wanted Birmingham residents escaping Birmingham after all. Least of all burning residents.

Inevitable. What a colossal waste of money.
