HS2 Key Design Element Engagement: Little Missenden Vent Shaft Headhouse 'You Said, We Did' virtual event

We would like to invite you to a free online event to share the final designs of the Little Missenden Vent Shaft Headhouse, following feedback we received from the community about our plans during engagement events in November 2020 .

After the public Design Input event, you completed questionnaires covering four topics: Landscape Design; Ecology; Headhouse Design and Construction. We asked you to rank our objectives in order of priority and provide comments which we will cover in our 'You Said, We Did' series of webinars in May 2021.

During the webinars we would like to:

  • Show you the feedback that we have received during design development, which has influenced our approach
  • Share the final designs we will be seeking consent on from your local authority
  • Provide information on the construction of the vent shaft and headhouse
  • Show you how we plan to reduce the impact of our work on residents
  • View or download our Little Missenden Vent Shaft Headhouse - 'You Said, We Did' information boards, May 2021

    Sign up to our online events to find out more

    Due to COVID-19 we are not currently able to hold face-to-face public events, but we are holding online events to update you on the design of the Little Missenden ventilation shaft and designs for the headhouse. These online "webinars" have been set up to give the local community the opportunity to hear from the team designing and building the railway in your area.

    We will discuss:

  • How our design for the vent shaft and headhouse has changed following our engagement event last year
  • Our approach to landscape design and ecology at the site
  • Our traffic management measures and the construction programme
  • Our team of experts will also be available to answer any questions you may have during the event. This event is being held on three dates, please select which date to you would like to attend when registering:

  • Tuesday 25 May 18:30 to 20:00
  • Thursday 27 May 12:30 to 14:00
  • We will be running the webinars via Microsoft Teams Live Events, which is a free to use online platform. If you have the Microsoft Teams app installed on your desktop or mobile device, the session will open automatically within that.

    If you have a question about HS2 or our works, please contact our HS2 Helpdesk team on 08081 434 434 or email hs2enquiries@hs2.org.uk
