The UK government plans to build a second high-speed railway going from Birmingham to London, Lower Boddington is one of the villages whose residents have complained about the noise pollution the railway would create and the lowering of house prices it would cause. Many posters and slogans have been put up in protest of the railway in the village and surrounding area, like many other towns and villages along the new line.
