News on HS2 in Kilburn & Northolt

We are developing a more detailed design for Phase One of the railway, following the appointment of our main works contractors. The design process helps us to plan and prepare for the construction of Britain’s new high speed railway. The Mandeville Road Ventilation Shaft is a Key Design Element, which means it is a significant structure. We want it to respect its surroundings and the local area as much as possible. We want your views on the design of the ventilation shaft including on:

• Changes to the design since the Hybrid Parliamentary Bill

• The design and setting of the headhouse (the headhouse is the above ground structure)

• The materials being used for the headhouse

• The landscape proposals and measures to enhance biodiversity

You can view the plans on our information booklet , before completing our quick online survey . The survey closes at 5pm on Friday 24 July .

To find out more and to let us know your views by completing the survey, please go to our dedicated Mandeville Road Ventilation Shaft web page here .
