The cost of a “bat shed” to protect a species in woodland along the new HS2 high-speed line has risen to more than £100m, HS2’s chair has revealed.

The 1km-long mesh structure will be built where the London-Birmingham high-speed line emerges from a tunnel in Buckinghamshire, to protect a colony of Bechstein’s bats.

Winter fuel allowance cut, thank you one again pensioners for your contribution towards this.

Or if we hadn't brexited. There would be enough for this and still have.

£99,000,000,000 left over. In the first year alone.

The point is. It's never a choice between Pensioners and Bats. Or Pensions and Immigrants.

You can see why Labour are not using HS2 ltd for the line between Birmingham and Manchester.

How are costs ever going to be kept under control when red tape and local council objections delay delivery and stretch the budget beyond contingency.
