From this week residents may notice some ANPR Cameras being installed at 15 locations on roads across the north of the borough as part of the HS2 Vehicle Route Compliance System being rolled out in Hillingdon. These ANPR Cameras once tested and ‘live’ will capture real-time data of HS2 lorries to make sure these vehicles are using the Approved Lorry Routes. The system will also be able to provide accurate HS2 lorry numbers at any location on the Network and it is hoped this data will help HS2 and LBH in policing lorries that are operating off-route and are non-compliant.

These Cameras will be configured to only capture data related to HS2 lorries, no other vehicle data will be captured or stored. This is part of a Network of Cameras being rolled out across those London Boroughs that have HS2 Sites and will be managed by HS2/SCS, with a Dashboard being developed to allow LBH access to the data. The system is to undergo a period of Testing and is expected to be ‘live’ around May 2023.

The Cameras are being installed at all Site entrance and exits in Hillingdon and at the following locations on the LBH Road Network:

• Moorhall Road – junction with Harvil Road
• Moorhall Road – near Truesdale Drive
• Field End Road – opposite Halfords
• Field End Road – near Esso Garage
• Victoria Road – near Old Dairy Lane junction
• Woodstock Drive – near Number 7
• Ickenham Road – near Number 48
• Long Lane – near Number 29
• Swakeleys Road – Westbound near Wallasey Crescent
• Swakeleys Road – Eastbound near Wallasey Crescent
• Station Approach/Long Drive – near Number 48
• West End Road – near McGovern Park entrance
• Breakspear Road South LP2A – near junction with Swakeleys Road
• Swakeleys Roundabout – near junction with Swakeleys Road
• Harvil Road – near junction with Highfield Drive

The Cameras will look similar to the image below, and each Lamp Column holding a Camera will have the HS2 Signage as shown below (to make it easily identifiable as to what they are there for)
