More needs to be done to get a good deal from HS2, according to Northamptonshire County Council.

The authority says it wants to make detailed representation to Parliament over the route of the High Speed Rail link in order to get as good a deal as possible for local people. In particular the Council says it wants a by-pass for the village of Chipping Warden, which lies between Daventry and Banbury.

Reporter Willy Gilder provides the back-ground and talks to Nigel Gelletly, the Chair of Chipping Warden Parish Council, and to Mums collecting their children from Chipping Warden Academy.

Stuart talks to Northamptonshire County Councillor Michael Clarke, who holds the transport portfolio on the County Council, and to Joe Rukin from the "Stop HS2鈥� campaign croup.
