Feature First stages of HS2 work The first signs of HS2 construction that residents may have noticed at Euston include ground investigations, surveys of properties earmarked for demolition, noise insulation surveys and preparations to demolish the train shed on the tracks near Granby Terrace Bridge. Later this year, HS2 Ltd will close and start to clear open space
including St James’s Gardens and Euston Square Gardens. St James’s Gardens was a burial ground until the midnineteenth century and will require archaeological excavation and exhumation of human remains. HS2 Ltd is working with Historic England and the Church of England so that exhumations and reburials are carried out with due dignity, respect and care.
HS2 Ltd’s community engagement HS2 Ltd is responsible for engaging the community on the scheme and has committed to improving the way it provides information, answers questions, seeks views and feedback, and responds to community views.
If you have questions or concerns about HS2 Ltd’s construction work, or the work of its contractors, you can contact HS2 Ltd’s 24-hour helpline on 020 7944 4908 or email hs2enquiries@hs2.org.uk. You can also visit HS2 at the Euston Centre on Hampstead Road, or attend HS2 Ltd’s next monthly construction open evening on Thursday 20 April from 6 to 8pm.
St. James’s Gardens will be closed and cleared.
