About Wrinehill

  The HS2 Phase 2a has arrived in Wrinehill and the environmental works are currently underway along Checkley Lane.  Whilst Balfour Beatty is the main contractor, the work has been sub-contracted out. Residents say that the Lane is very narrow and there is nowhere to park cars and vans once work begins.    The HS personnel spoken to on Tuesday, at a one to one meeting, did not seem fully au fait with the local situation as it seems to be unfolding.  Residents were however, reassured that they would be notified re any work to be done.   At the moment the environmental ponds are being created for wildlife that might be affected by future work.   These are currently on the Cheshire East side, but it is envisaged that traffic will be using the Staffordshire part of Checkley lane.  HS2 have been alerted to the flooding issues just off the main road and along Checkley Lane and under the bridge, particularly now that the wet weather is with us....
