Thanks for your reply.
I suggest an email, to the address above, along the lines of . . .
"I am currently writing a 500 word article for our local parish magazine, with the aim of updating the community on progress with the construction of the HS2 project insofar as it affects, or is likely to affect, people living or working in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
This could, for example, include the benefits of HS2 which might come to the area (such as access to new stations and faster rail services), together with the likely impact of construction work in the area.
I would be grateful if you could provide me with any relevant information, in particular with regard to planned dates for construction work and an indication of when you hope that HS2 might become a reality for our readers.
With thanks in anticipation of your kind assistance,
S. Head"
