What we are doing

We’re carrying out ground investigation work to help us better understand the ground conditions along the route. This will help to
inform the detailed design of the railway. To do this, we will use techniques including the drilling of boreholes and trial pits. We will
be carrying out survey works on land on Heath Road. To carry out the work, we will use some heavy goods vehicles as well as light
goods vehicles, such as tractors and telehandlers. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will to be at this location longer than anticipated.
We expect to complete all the work by the end of April.
