High-Speed 2 Rail Link
You may be aware, particularly if you live locally, that the latest plans for the development of the High-Speed 2 Rail Link between London and Birmingham would affect Packington Moor.
The most up-to-date proposed route, announced on the 20th December, 2010, would cut through the heart of the estate, destroying many acres of good agricultural land, demolishing the homestead and the barns. You are likely to hear about this through the various channels that will be publicising the development and the implications for everyone along the proposed route.
We should like to emphasise that these plans are in their very early stages and are facing massive opposition both locally and nationally. Even if the plans do go through, nothing here will be affected for many, many years to come - a minimum of 8 years, more likely 10 years, hopefully never.
The Barnes family has been at Packington Moor for 100 years and remains focused on development, improvement and progress in all areas. We are continuing to invest in all the facilities at Packington Moor and, in addition to the dedicated working farm, we look forward to providing a fantastic farm shop, a vibrant cafe and a wonderful wedding venue.
John, Rosemary and the family
