Hillingdon hospital new build briefing event

From Ickenham Residents.

We are circulating this as requested

Sent on behalf of Jason Seez, chief infrastructure and  redevelopment officer    

Dear all  
We would like to invite you and your members to a meeting to hear about the updated proposals for the new Hillingdon Hospital. This will take place on Thursday 12 November in the Education Centre at Hillingdon Hospital. Doors will open at 6.45pm, with the presentation beginning at 7pm.
In January 2025, the Government announced that the redevelopment of Hillingdon Hospital would proceed in the New Hospital Programme, a major UK initiative to modernise healthcare infrastructure in England. It advised that all new hospital builds should comply with a standardised blueprint, Hospital 2.0, which sets out how key areas of the hospital should be designed and laid out. We have been updating our designs to reflect this and would like to share these with you and hear your views. The new hospital will provide modern, state-of-the-art facilities that support outstanding care for local people, improve the experience of patients and staff, and embrace the latest technology, helping to meet the healthcare needs of our communities for years to come.
This is an opportunity to meet the project team, learn more about the proposals and ask any questions you may have.
Please register your attendance and let us know about any accessibility or language requirements by emailing thh.newhillingdonhospital@nhs.net or calling 0800 048 5592. This line is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
The Education Centre is accessible from the public car park near the main entrance of the hospital. The What3Words location is: ///always.civil.trash
We look forward to welcoming you.
Kind regards Jason Seez Chief infrastructure and redevelopment officer

M25 closure J15 update

Update: M25 junction 15 anticlockwise closures (8pm to 10am)
Connect Plus Services works on behalf of National Highways and Connect Plus to manage, operate and maintain the M25 and its linking roads, including the Dartford-Thurrock River Crossing.
I’m writing to let you know that we have postponed this weekend’s planned closure at M25 junction 15 due to forecast adverse weather conditions.
As a result, the M25 junction 15 anticlockwise carriageway will no longer be closed between 8pm on Saturday 24 October and 10am Sunday 25 October 2026.
Instead, we’ll need to use a contingency closure to complete this work the following weekend.   The M25 junction 15 anticlockwise carriageway, above the M4, is now scheduled to close: From 8pm Saturday 31 October until 10am Sunday 1 November 2026
The M25 junction 15 clockwise carriageway and all links between the M25 and M4 will remain open throughout the works.
Diversion route   During the closure, M25 anticlockwise traffic will need to exit at junction 15.   There will be a fully signed diversion route in place to rejoin the M25 anticlockwise carriageway after the closure: follow the M4 westbound to junction 5   turn around at M4 junction 5 (the Langley Interchange) return on the M4 eastbound to rejoin the M25 anticlockwise via M4 junction 4b



The route will be busier than usual, with residual delays expected on the M25 on Sunday after the closures have been removed.

If you must travel between these times Please plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey.   Travel earlier or later in the day – we’re expecting the busiest time around the M25/M4 interchange on Sunday mornings between 8am and midday.
Where possible   Consider alternatives to avoid severe delays, including alternative routes or public transport (i.e., for Heathrow Airport, Heathrow Express, Elizabeth Line).   We’ll complete some further works on weekday nights. These closures will take place between 10pm and 6am. During weekday nights, a diversion will be in place to M4 junction 4 and return.   M25 junction 15 anticlockwise weeknight closures diversion route map   You can find information about this work and updates on the scheme webpage.

Parking charge changes

Our grateful thanks to Ruislip residents for flagging this

Hillingdon First free parking to go phone-only, fewer ticket machines, and Sunday parking charges

In July, Hillingdon’s Director of Community Safety & Enforcement, Richard Webb, told the Residents’ Services Select Committee that Pay & Display machines were under review and that proposals would need to be developed. Those proposals have now been published. A report dated 22 September 2026 to the Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services, Cllr Wayne Bridges, asks him to approve a public consultation on five changes to parking across the borough – and ticket machines are only one of them.

Cllr Eddie Lavery, Cabinet Member for Finance, is also consulted. Cllr Bridges can sign off the decision from Wednesday 30th September, and Cabinet will make the final decision in December once the consultation has finished.

The five proposals are: the resident discount, including the free half hour for Hillingdon First Card holders, to be available through Pay by Phone only, and no longer at ticket machines every driver to give their registration number when paying for parking, at machines as well as by phone a digital replacement for the Hillingdon First Card for resident parking rates fewer Pay & Display machines, with a principle for deciding which ones go Sunday charges at council car parks in Hayes town centre that are currently free on Sundays
