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

Following feedback we received from the community about our plans for the Little Missenden Vent Shaft Headhouse, we would now like to invite you to sign up to a free online event to share the final designs.

In November 2020, you completed questionnaires covering four topics: Landscape Design; Ecology; Headhouse Design and Construction, ranked our objectives in order of priority, and provided comments which will be covered in our 'You Said, We Did' webinars in May 2021.

During the webinars we will:

  • 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.

    Topic to be discussed inlcude:

  • 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 experts will be available to answer any questions you may have during the event. This event is being held on two 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
