What we are doing
As previously advised, we have been carrying out dismantling work on the Coleshill Farm barn building off Birmingham Road. As that work is completed we will be moving to another phase of archaeology on the site. The next phase of archaeology is due to be completed by the end of December 2022 (subject to weather and site conditions).
A team of archaeologists will be carrying out excavation work on the site. Machinery will be used to remove the topsoil before archaeologists dig by hand and carefully record any findings.
During this phase of works, the current temporary traffic lights will remain on Birmingham Road. These lights allow the safe exit of vehicles from the work site. As part of the traffic management, the layby off the westbound lane of Birmingham Road will also remain closed
