Update on Canterbury site works programme

What we are doing

Works at the Canterbury Works Ventilation Shaft and Headhouse site was brought to a ‘safe stop’ in September 2024, with the expectation that works would not resume until Spring 2025.

However, as part of a recent and ongoing review of the programme by HS2, we do not now expect works to resume in 2025. Our Canterbury Works shaft and headhouse site will remain in a ‘safe stop’.

The hoarding will remain in place, and there will be 24-hour security. No site activities will take place other than monitoring, design and maintenance works at times. Welfare facilities at our Canterbury Works site may be used during certain periods, however we will notify the local community in advance of this.

For further details please see notification below.

We held Canterbury Works Ventilation Shaft and Headhouse information event on 30 April 2025 regarding the programme review.

Please see the link below to the information boards at this event.
