What we are doing

From Friday 6 October 2023, we will start working extended hours at Washwood Heath concrete batching plant, located next to Common Lane.  This will help us to continue to carry out essential concrete pours as we
build the new HS2 railway line in the area.  Our usual working hours will Monday to Friday from 7.00am until 10.00pm.  On occasions there will be a possibility that our workforce will have to work  24hrs to support concrete pouring activities. Unfortunately, this is dependent on the concrete setting and cannot be predetermined by the team.

You may experience some noise and notice large plant vehicles on site. Our community engagement team will endeavour where possible to let neighbours know about specific events where we may need to work 24 hours through door knocking on or before the day.

Ensure the site is regularly monitored for increased noise and vibrations levels, whilst also keeping disruption to a minimum where possible.
