Following the significant impact of HS2’s viaduct construction and associated works on Denham Country Park, Buckinghamshire Council has been awarded funding from HS2. We are working with contractors to use the funding to open up some of the wider areas of the park, improving public access through replacement of bridges and upgrading of paths. Habitat improvements are also underway to increase the biodiversity within the area through the creation of wetland areas, including ponds, scrapes and ditches, and the control of non-native invasive flora species.
This spring and summer, six pedestrian bridges will be replaced and approximately 1km of paths 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 in 2025.
