What we are doing

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

We have been creating ecological mitigation ponds surrounded by grassland habitat creation on land to the south of the A53 at Coney Greave Farm. We will use the ponds to relocate any protected species, such as Great Crested Newts.

We are nearing the completion of work on this worksite, and now need to remove the temporary trackway installed in order to complete the works.

We will need to install temporary two-way traffic lights on the A53 at Whitmore, to manage the safe movement of the vehicles needed to remove the temporary trackway from site.

We will put the traffic lights in place from Monday 19 June to Friday 23 June 2023, from 9am to 5pm.
