HS2 workers will be closing a road near Stoneleigh every day this week as they take down more hedgerows.

Protesters have been at the site in Ashow Road as they believe the hedges are being illegally felled during nesting season, which is affecting blackbirds, badgers and foxes, among other animals.

Police were also currently at the scene.

The Ashow Road near Stoneleigh was closed at each end between 9.30am-3.30pm - and it will again for the rest of week.
