Your views: Meeting in Mexborough over HS2 proposals

Residents from Mexborough near Doncaster who could see their homes demolished to make way for the new HS2 railway line are meeting tonight to discuss what they should do.
The meeting's at Mexborough Academy at 18:00 and tomorrow HS2 are holding a drop-in information session between 12:00 and 19:00 at the Mexborough Resource Centre.

The company building the line, HS2 Limited, announced earlier this month they wanted to move the line further east because it no longer intends to build a station at Meadowhall. They say it will cut costs and cut journey times.
But that will mean knocking down the new Shimmer Estate which is still being built. The new route will lead to the demolition of 600 homes nationally, with 200 of them going in Mexborough.
