Denham Country Park HS2 Mitigation Project
Following the significant impact of HS2’s viaduct construction and associated works on Denham Country Park, Buckinghamshire Council has been awarded funding from HS2. They will be working with contractors to use the funding to open up some of the wider areas of the park, allowing them to improve public access, with new bridges and path surfacing, and increase the biodiversity, through the creation of wetland areas, including ponds, scrapes and ditches and the control of non-native invasive flora species.
In October and November 2024, five pedestrian bridges will be replaced and approximately 1km of paths raised and resurfaced, subject to weather conditions. Footpath diversions will be in place during these works. Further works to complete maintenance to existing ditches and tree works to improve the flow and storage of flood water will also take place during the Autumn. Any works delayed by poor weather conditions will be rescheduled to Spring/Summer 2025.
