The construction of Phase 1 of HS2 has seen people in Northamptonshire forced to leave their homes.
A woman forced to leave her farmhouse because of HS2 said her former home was "still standing empty" after seven years.Work is well under way on the first phase of the HS2 project - between London and Birmingham - with a number of construction sites in operation across South Northamptonshire.
Others have chosen to leave the area, which they say has been spoilt by the work, and they have struggled to sell their homes.Ms Halvorsen added: "The house is still standing, in fact, but I gather the ceiling has fallen in and it hasn't ever been rented out. The village is close to the site of a huge tunnel, currently being built for the high speed rail link.
"We weren't really able to sell our house [until] we were offered a part exchange by a builder who bought the house off us, and it's still on the market now.The South Northamptonshire MP, Dame Andrea Leadsom, described HS2 as "disastrous" for her constituency.
