Regeneration at Fradley

I MOOR my boat at Fradley Junction so have a keen interest in the impacts HS2 could have on the area, writes Neville Wells. I am encouraged the IWA and CaRT are engaging with the project to minimise the impacts of this (in my opinion) not needed expenditure. One comment at the end of you piece raised a concern, specifically:

Regeneration

As well as continuing direct engagement with HS2 Ltd and collaborating closely with IWA, the Trust has used the Parliamentary petition process to ask formally for the Bill to be amended to address its concerns and to maximise the regeneration opportunities at Fradley Junction and along the entire Phase 1 route.

I wonder what regeneration is needed at Fradley junction. It has all the development it needs anything else and it will loose its character. You have to see it by day and evening to appreciate its beauty and therefore attraction. I would be very worried if someone who does not know the area or the history is allowed to regenerate it!
