Drone flights
Dear High Speed Two (HS2) Limited,
On Wednesday 27th January, 2021, at 14.40hrs your security operators flew a drone over Jones Hill Wood. The drone was flown well over the still privately owned area of the woodland. Did you seek permission from the landowner? Did you seek permission of those who make this their home? Did you notify the local farmers who own livestock in the vicinity? What reasoning can you offer for such a flight?
I would like to see the full video footage from the flight please, so I can assess if my right to privacy has been breached.
Thank you
Yours faithfully,
Marrk Keir

Dear High Speed Two (HS2) Limited,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of High Speed Two (HS2) Limited's handling of my
Your response is not adequate. The drone in question was over private land that you do not own, it was over MY home, I believe I was videoed. I have right to see that footage and a right to know the particulars I asked for.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/d...
Yours faithfully,
Marrk Keir
