The construction commissioner will be expected to ensure that any complaints are investigated and mediated fairly after spades hit the ground next year.
HS2 Ltd’s managing director for construction, Jim Crawford, said: “We want to be a good neighbour throughout the time we build this vital new rail network. A code of construction practice will also be put in place as we look to minimise disruption to local residents and businesses. But if there are any problems we want people to be reassured that there is an independent commissioner they can look to for additional help.”
