Enabling Works Update Area North – Fusion Carley Richards

Southam and Windmill Hill : Archaeology update • In late March, Fusion the HS2 Area Central Enabling Works Contractor, will start the archaeological investigation work. This will involve excavating trenches and recording any finds • The Southam site is located on the south-western outskirts : Access to the site will be along Leamington Road, Kineton Road and Banbury Road. • The Windmill Hill site will be accessed along Windmill Hill. • This work will be carried out by Connect, Fusion’s archaeology subcontractor. The investigations will be done by small teams of archaeologists assisted by an excavator. There will be a maximum of two teams on each site. • These works are scheduled to complete by the end of June 2020. • An Advanced Works Notice has been issued to the Community with further details for each site
