This is urgent as High Speed 2 will continue felling Euston Trees within weeks.
Attend the Covid secure community meeting convened by Camden Civic Society, and sign the petition: Save Euston Trees from High Speed 2 (HS2) 6-8pm, on Thursday, December 17 at St Pancras Church Euston Road NW1 2BA - Facebook and please sign the petition.
At the HS2 quarterly “engagement” meeting Euston Community Representatives Group (ECRG) on December 1, community concerns were brushed aside. Big national infrastructure is built at a cost, and we are paying it for no benefit. HS2 has stopped even pretending to engage and mollify us.

A new campaign to encourage the nation to switch to reusable facemasks has been launched today, as research for North London Waste Authority (NLWA) reveals that 102 million single-use facemasks are being disposed of each week in the UK.
People are being urged to switch to reusable face coverings as it has emerged that more than 100 million disposable masks are binned in the UK every week.
Nearly 70% of those who wear disposable masks are unaware they are single-use plastic, research for the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) found.
And around one in five wrongly believes disposable masks should go in the recycling.
In a bid to tackle the waste emergency, NLWA has launched a new campaign to encourage the nation to switch to reusable face coverings.
It revealed that 102 million single-use face masks are thrown away every week - enough to cover the pitch at Wembley Stadium 232 times over.
