March 16 Ickenham Village Hall ……..start 5:30 pm……finish by 7 pm

This is a ‘sit down’ meeting where HS2/SCS will present what steps are being taken to prevent problems such as water leakage and soil slippage whilst tunnel spoil is being dumped in the fields between Breakspear Road South and Harvil Road and later when HS2/SCS leave the site.

The meeting will include time for residents to question the HS2/SCS representatives.

HS2 call this site the Southern Sustainable Placement Area (SSPA). Spoil which is primarily London Clay is conveyed from the tunnel boring machines at West Ruislip and will be dumped in the fields up to a height of 6 metres. At completion the mounds will be landscaped.

HS2/SCS has been preparing the fields by removing top spoil and creating attenuation ponds. However there has been significant water leakage causing flooding and mud on the road and power outage and residents of Breakspear Road South have been very concerned about future activities in the fields.

This meeting has been organised after campaigning by residents and is open to all affected residents and all other residents who are concerned about HS2 activities in Ickenham.

(Please note HS2 has also organised a ‘drop in’ event at URC on March 21 covering all their activities in the area but it will not be an organised sit down meeting.)
