Protesters have marched over fears HS2 works could affect water supplies.
Protesters in Uxbridge called on Hillingdon Council to do more to protect the local environment.Colne Valley Regional Park contains more than 60 lakes and 200 miles of river and canal, stretching from Rickmansworth in the north to Staines and the Thames in the south, Uxbridge and Heathrow in the east and to Slough and Chalfont in the west.Over the next year engineers will construct 292 piles under the ground to support the viaduct piers.
Hillingdon Council has previously said HS2 will cause a disproportionate amount of impact with no benefits. "Thirty-seven thousand trees in the Colne Valley have disappeared for four miles of track - it's just mind boggling."
