The Association has responded, as you might expect.
Roof cleaners/Car gritters?
Without further comment, we repeat a warning received from an Association member:
Please be advised there are Irish fraudsters pretending to be roof
cleaning specialist. The use a high powered spray that removes the top
layer of the roof tile probably causing damage. They work off ladders
and cover neighbours cars in grit as neighbouring property and leave in a
disgraceful mess. They work for cash and drive a van with Irish plates.
They are con men and menacing please advise residents to say no.

Justin Otto’s Ickenham photo tour
Another talented photographer has popped up in Facebook’s Ickenham… it’s just the best village. This time, it’s Justin Otto. See his set of excellent photos from in and around Ickenham in his Flickr account. Here’s a taster (his originals are much higher quality):

Are you at risk from drone criminals?
We hear that criminals are using drones in Ickenham to identify potential victims – nice cars, dodgy patio doors, unlocked sheds – all are well within the drone’s reach. And the larger the property, the more likely they are to be used.
If you hear an unusual buzzing, look for activity on the street or at the back of your property. Drone users are most likely to be in sight. If you see them, call 101.
While this seems to be new to Ickenham, it’s not new generally. The Telegraph ran a useful article on the subject last year.

Parking restriction issues
Nothing seems to raise blood pressure more than the issue of parking restrictions. Some people love them, some hate them. Some want one-hour restrictions while others want resident permits. Just like Brexit, this means that a proportion of people are going to be unhappy with whatever’s decided.
As the Ickenham Residents’ Association, we have to remain above the fray. We are here to represent all residents and cannot take up the cudgels on behalf of one group or another. We can, however, urge you to respond whenever the Council consults you. Your anonymity is preserved and you can check the outcomes when the statistics are published.
If you really think that the Council has acted undemocratically, you probably have time to protest. In my road (Pepys Close), the scheme wasn’t implemented until ten months after the stats were published.
A couple of new ‘useful links’
While trying to find a decent pic of Ickenham Village Hall for our Twitter account and the header of this site, I found myself in contact with the Swakeleys Home Guard (1944) Association. Its members meet at the back of the Village Hall. I’ve added them to the Useful Links page, along with a lively Facebook group we mentioned recently called ‘Ickenham… it’s just the best village’.
