The proposals on the HS2 website stated the Watford to Euston train would be stopped at Queen's Park. This is a valuable service for people in the area and they would like a guarantee that this would not happen.

Views of my constituents in Brent have not been taken into consideration in the planning of HS2, when it will directly affect them because of the current position of the tunnel. There has been a complete lack of information made available to them. Could you provide details of how and when the constituents were consulted and the type of consultation undertaken?

When the proposals for HS1 were put forward, they stated the line would be used purely for passengers and not freight. I understand when HS1 was sold, these conditions changed and it is now used for both. Similarly, HS2 is proposing only passenger use. Will this change if it is sold? Can a guarantee be provided that it will be used solely for passengers?

Many residents are currently unable to sell their properties in Kensal Green because of the proposals for the tunnel being built 12 metres below their homes. HS2 would be nearest to the surface here then at any other part along the route. Please could you supply comparative data from HS1 where this was the case and what affect it had on the properties above the tunnels in relation to vibrations and noise?

If HS2 was to remain in it's existing route, travelling underneath the Harrow Road at Kensal Green, would these residents be entitled to any form of compensation? If so, how would it be calculated and what is the procedure/process for this?

I would be grateful for your views on the proposal from HS2 to demolish four housing blocks in Euston. Who would be responsible for rehousing these residents, and where would they be rehoused?

Residents in Kensal Green are extremely concerned about the suggested route for the HS2 passing underneath this residential location. They have continually tried to contact the HS2 team to no avail. They have met with an engineer who suggested an alternative route that runs underneath the existing Euston to Watford train line and would be minimally disruptive to residents. Will you support this alternative route, in light of your comments in January, that HS2 ' ... has to be right for London. And there are important aspects of HS2 which are not right?'

Why is Transport for London dragging its heels to let Harrow Council implement its decision to allow parking outside the shops on Pinner Road? This area is part of Harrow Council's regeneration plans for local/district centres and the new scheme agreed by the Council would bring people back to this area to shop in local businesses and revive the local economy.

Thank you for your answer to Q. 121 / 2012. Please could you outline the 'Look Out for Cyclists' road safety education campaign you have been running? How was it publicized and where?
