Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, UK. 18th March, 2021. HS2 have destroyed three oak trees in Leather Lane with more to follow for a temporary haul road despite that there are bat holes in the trees and it is the bird nesting season. HS2 Security and NET bailiffs are in the fields next to the oaks 24/7 and intimindating local residents. The High Speed 2 rail link from London to Birmingham is carving a huge scar across the Chilterns which is an AONB. Just under 40,000 people have signed a petition to Save Leather Lane Oaks from HS2.
