The village of Burton Green, Warwickshire, is suffering due to HS2 construction, which has split the community in half as a 700m tunnel nears 70% completion. Residents like Karen Blake report distress from continuous noise, vibrations, and dust, leading many to move away and causing concerns about plummeting property values. Locals lament the loss of their natural environment and express frustration over the project’s perceived lack of benefit, with some describing it as a disgraceful waste of public funds.
