Tory MP tells select committee local sherrifs needed to hold building firms to account
Campaigners have called for the appointment of local sheriffs to keep a grip on HS2 contractors after works for the £100bn railway were accused of creating “complete chaos” in rural communities.
Conservative MP for Buckingham Greg Smith, through whose constituency HS2 runs, told a parliamentary select committee that he wanted to see a localised sheriff in each area of the railway’s route from London to Crewe who “actually has teeth” to hold the project’s contractors to account.
