We’re getting in touch to let you know about a change to our garden waste collection service. . From Monday 7 July, garden waste will only be collected from residents who have subscribed to our new fee-based collections. Subscribers will receive weekly household collections in spring, summer and autumn (fortnightly in winter) and a 270-litre capacity per collection (three 90-litre canvas sacks) as standard*, for a £70 annual fee. You can register now. Once you sign up, you’ll be sent three green tags to attach to the handles of your current canvas sacks to confirm your subscription. We are already receiving high numbers of subscriptions and, due to manufacturer logistical issues, there’s a chance some tag deliveries may be delayed. However, our crews are able to check all households that have subscribed in real-time during their rounds, so if you’ve not received your tags when your collection is due, please write your house number on your sacks in permanent marker and they will be collected. *An additional three sacks and three tags can be requested via the council website if required. |

Flooding: LBH needs evidence
| From Ickenham Residents. |
| we received this from I Thynne and were asked to circulate it I am writing to you as we are undertaking an investigation into the September floods and the next phase is to collect evidence. The investigation is being carried out by the Council in its role as Lead Local Flood Authority. below in bold is a letter setting out more details about the investigation. Unfortunately, there were many properties that flooded or came close to flooding which we are trying to understand more about. In particularly we are trying to understand the full scope of flooding and would therefore be grateful if you could share this with the residents you represent. The investigation will consider the various causes of flooding and the roles of the relevant authorities, i.e. Thames Water, Environment Agency and Highways Authority. The investigation will lead to a formal report being published around spring time next year. This is likely to contain recommendations on how to reduce and manage flood risk better. The letter contains a link to the questionnaire where we will collect the information. For ease of reference, I have included it below. https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/13655/September-flooding Date: 3 December 2024 Ref: LBH/Flood/23Sept Dear Occupier On 23 September the borough experienced over one month’s worth of rain in a day. This led to widespread flooding across roads and open spaces, and sadly within properties. In our role as the Lead Local Flood Authority, we are carrying out an investigation into the flooding and seeking to understand more the extent and causes. In particular, we are keen to identify the sources of the flooding and determine what action was taken by key responders and when. We would also like to understand if there were any post flooding concerns relating to the recovery and clean up. This phase of the investigation is about collating the evidence to inform a subsequent report which will result in a series of recommendations with the aim of reducing the risk or impacts of flooding in the future. We understand the suffering that flooding can cause for our residents and communities and acknowledge that this doesn’t go away once the flood waters have receded. Our investigation is an important part of the response and will guide actions that will hopefully result in a reduction in the risk of flooding in the future. We therefore encourage as many people as possible to provide their experiences and evidence to ensure the investigation is comprehensive. To assist with developing our understanding of the flooding, we have produced a questionnaire which can be found on the following link https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/flood-investigation. This includes a series of questions that are intended to collect the required information and evidence for the purpose of the more detailed investigation. We would appreciate it if you could complete the questionnaire by 12 January 2025. The questionnaire also allows for photographs and videos to be uploaded to enable us to gather as much data and information as possible. At this stage, we don’t have full details of all those who experienced flooding, so we are writing specifically to a number of properties within areas where we have had multiple reports of flooding. The questionnaire is open to anyone who would like to provide their experiences of flooding. |
