Breakspear Road South closing 20-23 Jan
FROM HS2
From 20 to 23 January 2023, we will be carrying works along Breakspear Road South, north and south of the Network Rail bridge. For safety reasons, a road closure will be in place for the duration of these works.
During the road closure access will be maintained for residents and emergency services.
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.
These activities will include:
- concrete pour for the deck of the new bridge over Breakspear Road South. These works will be undertaken on dayshifts.
- utility investigation works between the HS2 bridge and the Network Rail bridge. These works will be undertaken on dayshifts.
- installation of the conveyor bridge (for the removal of tunnel excavation arisings from West Ruislip Portal to the Southern Sustainable Placement Area). These works will be undertaken on nightshifts due to the requirement of railway possessions.
- installation of road line markings and highways signage to accommodate the new conveyor bridge spanning the public highway. These works will be undertaken on nightshifts.
- vegetation removal to increase visibility of signage / bridge. These works will be undertaken on dayshifts.
During the road closure access will be maintained for residents and emergency services.
How these works will affect you
Breakspear Road South will be closed north and south of the Network Rail bridge, Friday 20 January from 10pm to Monday 23 January 6am.
A diversion will be in place via Swakeleys Road B467/ High Road B466/ Ickenham Road/ High Street/ Bury Street A4180/ Breakspear Road and will be clearly signposted.
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.

St Martin’s Medical Centre update
On behalf of St Martin’s Medical centre
| We are pleased to inform you that the Ruislip Site will be open from tomorrow 22/12/22. We are excepting some delays with the appointment timings, so could you cooperate with our staff members as everyone is working very hard. There is a possibility that building works may still be in progress. |
St Martin’s Medical Centre problems
On behalf of St Martin’s Medical centre
Alert message for Ruislip and Ickenham patients registered at St Martins Medical Centre (GP practice). The Ruislip branch will remain closed until further notice, due to an unfortunate water pipe burst. Everything had to be shut down and the site at the moment is not safe to access! The team and the management are doing their best to accommodate patients in need of doctor appointments from the Ickenham branch, but as you can imagine, not all patients booked in for the future days to come will keep their appointments, as we don’t have the same capacity. Also, you will find phone lines very busy. Both reception staff and clinical staff have been reduced, some working remotely. This means delays for PATCHS appointments as well. Patients coming from different practices for blood tests will have to be cancelled for now and re-booked when possible, or contact your own surgery to reschedule in a different place. We apologies for all inconveniences and we thank you for your understanding and patience!

There will also be books, mainly our high-end stock and ones with a local or Middlesex connection, such as Morris Hughes’ The Story of Ickenham, which is hard to find these days.
We will be there from 6pm to 9pm and again on Saturday 10th from 10am to 12 Noon for a Coffee Morning with homemade cakes, and the church and the stalls open again.
Admission will be free throughout.

We look forward to seeing you!

Proposed closure of surgery
We are sure you are aware of the issues with St Martin’s Ickenham surgery as, according to our informant, “It rarely seems to be open with daily closure notices posted on the door.”
We have been informed that some registered patients received information by text on 2nd Dec of two consutation meetings on the proposed closure of this surgery. Apparently, not all patients have received this notification.
The details are as follows:
Thursday 8 Dec 22 consultation meeting is in St Giles Church Hall 10:30am to 11:30am.
Saturday’s is on 10 Dec 22 in the Ickenham Village Hall (33 Swakeley’s Road) also 10:30am to 11:30am.
The PPG Chairman and Deputy Chairman will attend both meetings.
If you have any more information please let us know and circulate this as far as possible as we cannot afford to lose a GP sugery from the village.
