Notice of traffic management to access land off Yarnfield Lane, Stone
January 2023 | www.hs2.org.uk
High Speed Two (HS2) is the new high speed railway for Britain. Balfour Beatty and its appointed subcontractors are working on behalf of HS2 Ltd to carry out early environmental works between the West Midlands and Crewe.
What we are doing
HS2 Ltd will be continuing with its land possession programme in 2023. We will need to secure land off Yarnfield Lane and Eccleshall Road and will be undertaking some fencing work in these land areas.
We need to access land to the north and south of Yarnfield Lane and to the north of Eccleshall Road. In order to do this, it will be necessary to install temporary traffic lights on Yarnfield Lane to safely gain access to carry out our fencing work.
Once the fencing is completed, we shall monitor the habitats and maintain the land to carry out grass and hedge cutting before handing over to future contractors. In addition, we shall be responsible for the security of these areas.
When the work will take place
Temporary traffic lights are to be installed on Yarnfield Lane the week commencing 16 January to construct temporary accesses to the work sites, which will enable us to fence areas of land. This traffic management will be in place in two locations on Yarnfield Lane during January and February .
An update to this Advanced Notice of Work will be published after Christmas providing more detail on the locations and durations of the traffic management on Yarnfield Lane.
What to expect
The equipment we use to set up fencing may generate some low-level noise, but we will be working during the day to minimise disruption to local residents.
Where possible we will use the current access tracks to bring the machinery onto the land, although in two locations new temporary accesses will have to be made. Traffic management will be in place to allow for these new temporary accesses to be created. You may notice some queuing on the local road while we do this.
Duration of works
16 January 2023 to early March 2023
Weekday and daytime working only
Please note that the time and date in this notification may be subject to change.
