Following works last year to the road surface on Breakspear Road South near our compound entrance, a further set of 2 single lane closures are required to complete a permanent repair to two water valve covers in the road.

We understand these works will affect road users and the local community and we apologise for the late notice.

The lane closure will be in place over two consecutive weekends:

· Saturday 29 February to Sunday 1 March 2020, southbound lane

· Saturday 7 March to Sunday 8 March 2020, northbound lane

We will do our best to keep disruption to a minimum by lifting the traffic management as soon as the work is complete. The lane closures are being undertaken over two weekends when traffic is lighter. Traffic will be able to flow in both directions controlled by three-way traffic lights.

We have been asked to share the information contained within this factsheet from “Stop HS2”

Notice of works at Dews Lane & footpath closure from HS2:

High Speed Two (HS2) is the new high speed railway for Britain. As part of the railway’s construction they are continuing preparatory works within Hillingdon.

U34 Footpath Closure
The U34 Public Right of Way is currently partially closed from Dews Lane to Harvil Road. This closure is being extended northwards to the junction with Bridleway 7 from 2nd March to June 2020. Signage will indicate the section of footpath that is closed (see attachment) and an alternative route will be available along Harvil Road and Bridleway 7 which is currently diverted across Harefield Moor. This is to ensure public safety during the works including works to modify access around
Dews Lane.

Tree planting
Further tree planting will be undertaken at the site to the north of Dews
Lane. This work is expected to be undertaken in the Spring.

Fencing work continues
Fencing works will continue on land in the vicinity of Dews Lane to
secure the area for contractors to work in a safe manner. This will
include areas of vegetation clearance, including some trees. Some of
this work will require temporary stopping of traffic on Dews Lane under
traffic control. These works will be ongoing until late May.

Archaeological work continues
They have been carrying out works to get a better understanding of any
significant archaeological remains which are in this area. Excavation of
trial trenching is almost complete in some areas and mitigation works to
protect areas of interest have commenced. This work is expected to
continue until late May.

HS2 would like to invite your feedback on the design of HS2’s Common Design Elements planned for the Phase One route between the West Midlands and London.

Common Design Elements are parts of the railway with a standardised appearance which will give it a recognisable look and make it more efficient to build. They include frequently used structures, such as bridge piers and parapets, as well as lineside noise barriers.

Since Parliament approved plans for the Phase One route in 2017, we’ve been developing the design of the new railway and now we need your views to help inform how we progress with the Common Design Elements.

You can view the plans on the HS2 website and download an information booklet, before completing the online survey. The survey closes at 11pm on Thursday 30 January.

To find out more and let them know your views by completing the survey, please go to www.hs2.org.uk/common-design

If you have any questions about the Common Design Elements or HS2, please contact HS2 Helpdesk team on 08081 434 434 or email hs2enquiries@hs2.org.uk
