What we are doing
On 4 October 2023, the Prime Minister announced that the Government proposes to deliver a broad range of transport initiatives in place of investing in Phase Two of HS2. This means that HS2 Ltd is not undertaking any ‘new’ work to progress plans for Phase 2a of the project and is working with Government to agree the next steps on this phase of the project.
The activity described below is needed either to finish work on an existing site, for the ongoing maintenance of a site, or for health, safety and security reasons.
As part of our early environmental works, we are undertaking ecological surveys and roadside hedgerow maintenance on Yarnfield Lane. These works are required to maintain safe line of sight for road traffic. Balfour Beatty will be using tractor and hedgerow flail as well as manual working near any sensitive ecological receptors.
This will form part of regular hedgerow maintenance within the wider area.
We will need to install temporary two-way traffic lights on Yarnfield Lane at Stone, to manage the safe movement of the vehicles and people needed to carry out the hedgerow maintenance
