In October 2014, Government announced two funding programmes to offset the impact of the construction of Phase One of HS2 on local communities and businesses; the Community and Environment Fund (CEF) and the Business and Local Economy Fund (BLEF).

A combined total of £40m has been made available for these two funds over a period of 11 years throughout construction and for the first year of operation.

These funds are provided in addition to the comprehensive mitigation outlined in the Act and Environmental Minimum Requirements (EMRs) to address the environmental impacts of Phase One.

The independent Grant Management Body for the funds is Groundwork UK: https :// www.groundwork.org.uk/hs2funds
