Manchester HS2 Parliamentary Reception

Take a look at our recent Parliamentary Reception and why we joined business and political leaders to highlight need for an undergrouund HS2 station at Manchester Piccadilly.

Downtown is always at the centre of the action and Wednesday 6th July proved this on stilts.

Whilst the Prime Minister made his last stand with a committee of top MPs in the Palace of Westminster, Downtown held a reception on the Commons Terrace to fight for common sense over the construction of HS2 as it comes into Manchester city centre. The gathering of top engineers, businesspeople, MPs, and councillors was arranged urgently as consultation closes soon on the bill authorising the line from Crewe to Manchester.
