What we are doing

What are we doing?

To allow for the construction of the new railway and to continue to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply, Cadent will be starting work to move an existing gas pipeline near Brancote, east of Stafford, at the start of 2023. We will keep people up to date as our works progress. We have been carrying out surveys on land off Hanyards Lane, to understand more about the land we’ll be working in.

We now need to carry out some additional surveys on land south of Hanyards Lane, and will be starting this work from 22 September 2021. The work will involve drilling boreholes and digging small pits so we can take samples of the ground to analyse.

Vehicles will mainly be accessing our working area from Hanyards Lane, via Tixall Road. We will also be working within the Ingestre Park Golf Club grounds, and will access this area using the golf club’s entrance.

There will be security on site so we can maintain a safe working environment. Please note, there will be no on-site lodging.

How will this affect you?

So that we can ensure the golf club remains open throughout the work, we will be occasionally carrying out some of the work at night time. You may notice some people and equipment on site outside of standard HS2 hours. All noise will be low level and we do not anticipate any disruption.
