  • The Response of Teversal, Stanton Hill and Skegby Neighbourhood
    WDES Response from the TSS Neighbourhood Forum: Concerns, Requests, Suggestions and Associated References. The Response of Teversal, Stanton Hill and Skegby Neighbourhood Forum (TSS) to the HS2 Phase 2b Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) 2018 Volume 2: Community Area Report, LA10: Tibshelf to Shuttlewood 1. Introduction Teversal, Skegby and Stanton Hill Neighbourhood Forum (TSS) is a statutory stakeholder (in lieu of a Parish Council) and recognised as a stakeholder by HS2. This response details our concerns in regard to the significant impacts that HS2 will have on our area, which falls in the north-west corner of Ashfield where the Proposed Scheme (PS) in Derbyshire meets the Nottinghamshire border. This is an area of natural and historic beauty. It is tranquil and peaceful, a place where the natural environment is enjoyed by local residents and tourists in the form of walking, cycling, horse-riding, camping and much more. 2. Overview The area of our concern is described in the HS2 plans (High Speed Rail (Crewe to Manchester and West Midlands to Leeds) WDES. 2: Community Area Map Book as LA10 Tibshelf to Shuttlewood (WDES Oct 18, LA10). The specific part of the route from Tibshelf through to Stainsby and onward to Junction 29 of the M1 (J29) will be significantly impacted by the construction and operation of the PS. We understand that construction is to commence at the start of 2023 (1.1.5) (Figures 5, 6 & 7) and that the work which directly affects our immediate area will run from Q4, 2024 – Q2, 2030 equal to 5.5 years, and in addition electrification from Q3, 2031 – Q4 2033 which is equal to 2.25 years or beyond.
