The reason for the closure is not known but, speculating, it was to fell trees on the banks or to facilitate surveying. HS2 will cross the Greenway just this side of Sutton Spinney, ahead.

HS2 enabling works, Welsh Road area, June 2021 (13) Another view from beside the Fosse Way into the contractors' compound. It felt like a village. With each laborious step along the verge my jaw dropped a little bit further. The site occupies much of the area bounded by the Offchurch Greenway, Fosse Way, and the Long Itchington Road – seven hectares at a rough estimate. Sutton Spinney does not appear to be included in the site. Are they offices in the distance, or accommodation?
