Disruption for Euston locals set to continue for another decadepublished at 14:41 BST

What has happened in Euston in Central London has been called an embarrassment and a lesson in how not to do things.
The area has seen hundreds of homes demolished, the most on the whole HS2 project. And the project has ruined lives. Businesses and pubs were also destroyed; it was extremely distressing for those impacted by it.
For the last seven years the area has been blighted by a project with no clear direction. The site cuts the area in half.
The news that it won’t now open until 2040 at the earliest will be met with anger, resignation, and despair.
Businesses have already suffered, some have already moved on and this further delay won’t help. Plans to redevelop the whole area are yet to see the light of day.
At the moment, locals are living next to a building site and disruption and that looks set to continue for another decade.
Work has been underway at Euston for several years
