What we are doing
We wrote to you in September 2026 about works on our site. The dates for some works have now changed.
Sheet piling and works on the eastern boundary will continue until 25 November 2026. Sheet piling works along the northern boundary will take place from 2 November 2026 to 10 December 2026.
High-voltage service works, including excavation and concrete breaking, will start from 9 November 2026, followed by concrete wall and foundation pours from 12 November 2026 until early February 2027. A crane will be on site from 16 November 2026 to support site activities.
Some works, like breaking concrete, may produce increased noise, vibration, and dust at times. We’ll always monitor this and minimise disruption where possible.
HS2 is undergoing a comprehensive reset to ensure it can be built efficiently and for the lowest reasonable cost. This work is being carried out in stages and will be completed in 2026. We will provide you with updates on the reset and what this means for our plans to build the railway in your area.
