  • Canley Brook Area
    Canley Brook Area Design summary www.hs2.org.uk Introduction HS2 High Speed Two (HS2) is the new high speed railway for Britain. In 2017, Parliament approved plans for the part of the railway that will run between the West Midlands and London. The design of HS2 is an ongoing process. A preliminary design was approved by Parliament, which our main works contractors are refining, within certain agreed limits. This work includes taking any opportunities to deliver HS2 as effectively as possible while minimising our impact on communities and the environment. As we undertake the next stage of design work on the railway, we would like to make the community aware of any work that affects them. This includes the design of HS2 in the Canley Brook area (Kenilworth Cutting, the A429, Canley Brook Viaduct and Crackley Road Cutting). This design summary explains how the scheme design has been changed in this area. For the latest information about this work please visit www.hs2inwarwickshire.co.uk Balfour Beatty Vinci Joint Venture Balfour Beatty Vinci (BBV) are the main works contractor for this area of the route. Their job is to prepare the final design of the HS2 route and build the railway in preparation for the track and signalling installation. Your Community Engagement Manager from BBV is Gurcharan Singh. * Note on images within this document Please note, all images are an artist’s impression based on the latest HS2 route design. Every effort has been made to ensure that images are as accurate as possible. This includes the location, size, materials and finishes of structures, and the species mix and placement of planting.

  • Conserving Warwickshire's Geological Heritage
    Conserving Warwickshire’s Geological Heritage In this issue: Glaciers Corley rocks Charnwood fossils Indonesia - flora & fauna Calicoles Newsletter Spring 2011 Issue Number 21 Caer Caradoc Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group News - Spring 2011 - Issue number 21 2 Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group News - Spring 2011 - Issue number 21 3 Chair’s Report March 2011 As I write, the work has begun at last in completing our submission to the Charity Commission for charity status for the Group. As you will know, big changes have had to be made in our governing documents, largely to accommodate the legacy left to the Group by Rob Holloway. One other aspect of Rob’s generosity was his massive collection of rocks. Jon Radley and I have been working our way through this to produce a manageable collection for the Group, but also to offer to schools and colleges to assist with their teaching. Should you be aware of any teaching institutions at whatever level that might benefit from such a rock collection, please let me know. I remarked in the last Newsletter that the conservation work on the Kenilworth cutting exposure had made good progress during the early part of last summer. However, this is a project where we can’t work at our own pace. It forms part of a much larger Sustrans cycle route scheme where many partners are involved – the County Council, ecology groups, community groups as well as Sustrans. Each have their priorities, not least financial, and so, inevitably, progress can be slow. Nevertheless, the County have recently cut down some of the small trees which obscured the geology and this should allow us to move back on to the site once the various protected animals are ‘on the move’.
