What we are doing

As part of our early environmental works, we will establish critical environmental and species relocation sites creating new habitats for local wildlife before any main work starts.

We must plant, by hand, 180,000 tree and hedge plants along the route, and approximately 8,000 of these will be planted off Kings Bromley Lane. There is a short window of opportunity during March when we can carry out this work.

In order to do this, we will be planting on four consecutive Saturdays from 4 March to 25 March 2023.  We will work between 8am and 4pm this will be in addition to the normal working week Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm

The planting will be carried out by hand, without machinery, so that the work will not cause any excess noise.
