Residents in the village with the most complaints over HS2 say rural life has been shattered by 'hellish' construction works which leaves their houses shaking at night.
Fed-up locals in Meriden, West Mids. - which is known as the historic centre of England - say noisy works and living by a 'giant building site' is making life a misery.
Some have reported being kept awake at night as a result of heavy machinery vibrating their properties as work on the £100bn high speed rail project continues.
Villagers have also complained of traffic chaos caused by lorries and diggers accessing the site as well as picturesque countryside being "carved up".
