Looking ahead there will be archaeology trial trenching south of Chalfont Lane and west of the A412 from late December / early January.  There will also be survey works in various locations from mid January.  Also from January, just over the border in Buckinghamshire, there will be ‘ecological mitigation’ works (tree planting).

The Additional Mitigation Plan of the Colne Valley Regional Park  Panel has now been published. The mitigation plan identifies additional mitigation and enhancements in furtherance and beyond the mitigation proposed within the High Speed Two (HS2) proposed scheme. HS2 Ltd has made an assurance to work with the Colne Valley Regional Park Panel  to deliver the key proposals in the additional mitigation plan, which will include making £3 million available to support its delivery.

A HS2 Independent Construction Commissioner has been appointed to mediate unresolved disputes.  If you have an enquiry or want to make a complaint, a Freephone Helpline is provided by HS2 (see details below).  If a response to a complaint about Phase One construction is unsatisfactory, or remains outstanding contact the commissioner on 0300 123 5365 or complaints@hs2-cc.org.uk  to look into the case.
