This group recently linked to us. I’ve added it to our HS2 – The Basics web page and elevated the HS2 Basics link to the top of the ‘Background’ part of our main HS2 page (that’s the page that links to everything HS2).
If you don’t like navigating menus, you might prefer to use ‘Search this site’ (at the top right of each page) if you’re after something in particular.
Can you get to a public hearing in the Civic Centre on July 3rd starting @ 10:00 to consider HS2’s Appeal against LBH for refusing to approve its wetland mitigation proposal?
HS2 is attempting to mitigate bulldozing 27ha wet woodland and chalk rivers, home to over 2400 species, by replacing it with a 0.85ha pond and basking bank set up for great crested newt and grass snake.
It claims NO NET LOSS to biodiversity. Hopefully the image below will help set the perspective.
Please come if you can and support the Council and everyone wanting to preserve this special area.
Thanks

What a load of rubbish….
Yes, that’s right, rubbish, rubbish everywhere. Bottles, cans, sweetie papers, credit cards (credit cards? Yes even valid credit cards are discarded) cigarette butts, newspaper, glasses, fag cartons, crisps packets, rope, the list is endless. Even car hubcaps are chucked over fences to lie in the undergrowth for years. Some of the above mentioned items were bagged up by litter picking volunteers who gave up their Saturday morning to make Ickenham High Road a tidier place.
So well done to (l to r) John, Erica, Jackie, Graham, Emma, Corinna, Simon, Nathan (champion litter picker on the day). And not in picture Jake.
Such effort moves Ickenham towards being Britain’s first litter free neighbourhood. Now all we need is for all citizens to dispose of their rubbish responsibly either by taking it home with them or putting it in a bin.
