High Road works 27-29 September

from HS2

What we are doing

From 27 to 29 September, we will be carrying out works along High Road. We will be removing four ramps in the carriage way outside the Tesco store. For safety reasons, temporary traffic management will be in place and the cycle path will be closed for the duration of these works.

We would like to apologise in advance for any disruption or inconvenience this may cause. Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way. We will ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.

Bargains this Saturday (10th Sept) at theURC!

From the URC

The Festival Forecourt Sale went with a bang with lovely weather, a large attendance, a great atmosphere and takings of £932, including some private sales and add-ons. All in all, we felt that we made a useful contribution in helping to launch a successful and enjoyable Festival, as well as raising much-needed cash for our church and charities.

We’re going to give it one more go before the summer disappears, with a Late Summer Forecourt Sale on Saturday 10th September, from 10am to 12 Noon admission FREE. We won’t have our usual large array of plants because of the drought, but we will have some, so gardeners should definitely pay us a visit. What we will have also is bric-a-brac, books, collectables such as stamps and cigarette cards, boxed games and puzzles and pretty well anything else that comes in, except clothes or shoes.

Please have a look round for quality bric-a-brac [can’t get enough of it for our loyal buyer base!] and anything else that you might donate and bring it to the church between 2pm and 6pm on Friday 9th September or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection. This is also the number for any enquiries or offers of help and we hope to hear from you!

Tunnel Boring Machine kick-off next week

HS2 Works Notification: Preparing the Tunnel Boring Machine

We are writing to let you know about some planned works in your local area.  

Recently, we told you about our works to build the Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) at our West Ruislip site. We will use the TBMs to build the railway tunnels between West Ruislip and Greenpark Way in Ealing.

The TBMs have now been assembled and on Tuesday 30 or Wednesday 31 August 2022, one of them will be switched on and will cut up to one metre into the concrete wall ahead of it. This is preparatory work before we launch the TBMs.

Once launched, they will run 24 hours a day until they reach Greenpark Way. We will let you know the launch date as soon as it is confirmed.

We would like to apologise in advance for any disruption or inconvenience this may cause. Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way. 

We will ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.

What to expect

During this preparatory activity, there will be no soil extracted from the machine and the conveyor will not be operational.

We anticipate that any noise and vibration will be minimal given that the TBM is situated approximately 10 metres below the surrounding ground level.  The expected duration of this activity is approximately one hour, during our core working hours of 8am to 6pm.

Members of our engagement team will be present on The Greenway between 10.00am and 12.00pm and again from 2.00pm to 4.00pm on the day to answer any questions that you may have.

We will only carry out activities agreed with the London Borough of Hillingdon and will adhere to the agreed working hours and noise and vibration limits. You may notice different types of noise during these works.

We would like to apologise in advance for any disruption or inconvenience this may cause. Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way.https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/preparing-the-tunnel-boring-machine/
