HS2 cited as cause of waterlogged fields

摘要

A Warwickshire arable farmer has accused contractors building the HS2 high-speed rail line of failing to understand the basics of land drainage after farmland he owns bordering excavation works near Kenilworth was repeatedly flooded.Pictures that landowner David Jones posted on social media reveal flooded fields, broken land drains and overflowing retention ponds, with water pouring from the HS2 site into wildlife habitats.
