These works have been agreed by LBH with the new dates coinciding with the School Half-Term w/c Mon 28/10 until Sat 02/11 – full details below:
- 3-Way Traffic Lights by junction of Breakspear Road South & Fine Bush Lane
- LBH consent to these works taking place during the next School Half-Term from Mon 28/10 to Sat 02/11

HS2/SCS to carry out works to clear the existing Culvert and connect the HDPE pipe into the Culvert, which HS2/SCS would like to complete whilst the weather is relatively dry and prior to it turning for Winter. This is part of the permanent drainage for the Northern Sustainable Placement Area (NSPA) located in the fields between Newyears Green Lane and Breakspear Rd South.
the Traffic Management Plan shows 3-Way Traffic Lights which would be operational during the day (Core Hours 8am to 6pm) so the Traffic Management could be pushed to the side of the road outside of these hours to allow increased traffic flow.

Thanks from the URC
Thanks from the URC for the record!
Our forecourt sale which helped to launch the Festival enjoyed a fantastic attendance and a great atmosphere and raised over £1100, a record for us for an event of that type, so many thanks to all of you who came along and/or provided things for us to sell. The money will go to the work of the church, Smile Train and Papyrus prevention of young suicide and we will be looking to add to it with a similar event on the forecourt and the Oasis café at the URC, Swakeleys Road UB10 8HE on Saturday 7th September, 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE. We will again have plants, quality bric-a-brac, lots of books, boxed games and puzzles and anything else that you give us, apart from clothes and shoes. There will be an accompanying friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes. Please bring donations of any of the things we are selling to the church between 2pm and 6pm on Friday 6th September or phone Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection. This is also the number for any enquiries or offers of help.

Breakspear Road South – Emergency Road Closure for Affinity Water works – Wed 21/08 to Wed 28/08?
LBH received notice from Affinity Water on the afternoon of Wed 21/08 that they have had to close Breakspear Rd South near Grays Cottages due to a burst Water Main.
An inspection with the LBH Network Operations Manager and Affinity Water on Thur 22/08 confirmed that it is likely to take until Wed 28/08 to complete the repair and the road will be closed by Grays Cottages 24 hours a day until then.
This should not affect HS2 lorries using the Approved Lorry Route on Breakspear Rd South as the Road Closure is further north than the HS2 Site (with the Approved Route only going as far north as the HS2 Site). There will however be increased traffic around the Ruislip and Ickenham areas as displaced traffic moves around the LBH Road Network.
Harvil Road & Skip Lane Snagging Works – at Night (between 8pm to 6am) from Mon 26/08 until Mon 02/09
LBH have agreed to a request from HS2/SCS for some Night Time Traffic Management (mostly 2-Way Traffic Lights) on Harvil Rd and a Night Time Road Closure of Skip Lane from Mon 26/08 until Mon 02/09 for some snagging works (raising of the manhole covers, sealant works on the parapets on the new bridge, and installation of bollards on Skip Lane).
The requested working hours are between 8pm and 6am so the Traffic Management will be removed during each day.
Schedule below:
Mon 26/08 – 8pm to 6am – Tue 27/08
Tue 27/08 – 8pm to 6am – Wed 28/08
Wed 28/08 – 8pm to 6am – Thur 29/08
Thur 29/08 – 8pm to 6am – Fri 30/08
Fri 30/08 – 8pm to 6am – Sat 31/08
Sat 31/08– 8pm to 6am – Sun 01/09
Sun 01/09 – 8pm to 6am – Mon 02/09
The Traffic Management has multiple phases (similar to what was used in June at this same location) and SCS will complete 1 phase before changing the Traffic Management to the following phase (hence not being tied to definite dates for the phases).
LBH did not receive any Complaints last time this Traffic Management was used and as it is at night it should cause minimal impacts. This would also be done during the last week of the school holidays which would mean 4 lots of HS2 works completed on Harvil, Breakspear Road South & Moorhall over the summer break when the roads are quieter.
Please note that the LBH Network Operations Manager has cleared these works to take place at the same time as the Emergency Road Closure on Breakspear Rd South but LBH will be monitoring traffic flow on Harvil Road and will postpone the Harvil Road works at any point if we need to do so.
