It seems that, although u3a was coined as an acronym for University of the Third Age, the ‘university’ word carried too many implications. What follows is a more accurate description gleaned from the Hillingdon u3a website:
Based in West London, Hillingdon u3a provides many educational, creative and leisure opportunities for its members in a friendly environment. This is achieved by its members running over 80 interest groups. You can see the list of these in the Groups page. Hillingdon u3a is well established having formed 24 years ago and now has over 850 members across the Ruislip, Ickenham, Uxbridge, Hillingdon, Hayes and West Drayton area. It also has an active social programme of monthly meetings, visits, walks, concerts, theatre trips and a regular members’ newsletter.

And word of this one has already been doing the rounds:
We are proposing a change to our garden waste collection service to make it more sustainable.
The proposed change would see the introduction of a £70 charge for 2025/26 for the collection of a household’s garden waste. The charge would support the running costs of the service and ensure it’s paid for by those using it – rather than the cost being shared by all taxpayers, including those without gardens.
Our garden waste collection service would continue to offer residents:
• better value for money than neighbouring boroughs through a cheaper rate per collection
• weekly collections in spring, summer and autumn
• greater capacity of collected garden waste than other boroughs.
Residents without a subscription would still be able to take their garden waste to our civic amenity sites for free.

from Cllr Lavery
The Ickenham Library ward surgery has now been running for several months. We are still seeing a very low attendance.
We have therefore decided to revert to our previous practice of seeing residents face to face (if required )by appointment. The majority of queries we receive are via email or telephone.
If there are any queries please contact me.01895 250659
From Ickenham Residents.
the council has deferred taking the Uxbridge library move proposal to cabinet to allow for a period of public engagement. This consists of email feedback to: librarycontact@hillingdon.gov.uk i.e. we have a chance to register objections, or it will be assumed we have none. The more emails the council receives will make the residents position clearer. So can I ask you to share this with all those that are likely to take an interest in Uxbridge library?
The council project leader for the library has said he is not aware of any other mechanism such as a public consultation. So. to register an opinion, an email needs to be sent to the above address. This should include reasons, which the council can consider. I’m suggesting emails go to both the library contact and to your local ward councillor, because at the full council meeting voting on the library was split along party lines, with the Conservatives for the proposed move and Labour against. Our councillors’ emails are available at https://modgov.hillingdon.gov.uk/mgFindMember.aspx?XXR=0&AC=WARD&WID=13412& search on ickenham and South Harefield ward The council officer leading this project and has made it clear that the information they have provided is all they have at the moment. So there is no proposed home for the history and archive section. This information from the contractors plan be found at: https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/uxbridge-library-relocation Our assumption is that emails need to be in by the end of December for them to be assessed, a report written and for this to be digested by the councillors, prior to cabinet.
