White Knight presents a concert version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera The Mikado, to raise funds for the Disasters Emergency Committee.

A first-class line-up of professional soloists are giving their time for free, in the hope of raising money for people in desperate need across the world.

The Greenway works
Got an allotment or live in the Greenway. Did you get this letter from Thames Water?
Thank you
Dear Resident,
We have completed the sewer diversion
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we carried out the diversion to our sewer to enable HS2’s construction.
We can confirm the diversion has been completed and we have now left the area. The haul road has been removed and the land has been reinstated with new trees and shrubs being planted. The reinstatement of the Ickenham Green Allotments has also been completed.
We will be returning to the area to water the grass on The Green and the saplings in the surrounding area on a regular basis. Barhale will be responsible to look after the area for 12 months and then Thames Water will take over for the next two years. After this time the land will be handed back to London Borough of Hillingdon.
Thank you again.
Kind Regards
Laura Edwards
Communications Manager
If you didn’t, perhaps you’d like to drop a line to ickenhamresidents@hotmail.com
New Years Green Lane works
from HS2
We’re writing to let you know about some planned works that we will be carrying out in your area.
On Sunday 18 June 2023, we will be carrying out inspection works to the conveyor over Newyears Green Lane.
Due to the location of these works, a road closure will be in place for one day to ensure these activities can be carried out safely.
Access will be maintained for residents, emergency services and businesses along Newyears Green Lane. A clearly signed diversion route will be in place via Moorhall Road / A412 / A40.
For further information please see our works notification. https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/newyears-green-lane-closure-for-conveyor-maintenance/
Fun in the sun at the URC!
From URC
Our Spring Forecourt Sale was a great success, with a good attendance and atmosphere and £818 raised for the church and our chosen charities for the year, British Red Cross and Asthma+Lung UK, so thank you to all who came and/or donated things for us to sell.
The weather then was better than forecast earlier in the week but we’re hoping for warmer and sunnier for our Summer Forecourt Sale on Saturday 10th June from 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE.
The formula will be much the same, with the famous plant stall, quality bric-a-brac, books galore, maps, stamps, jigsaws and boxed games and pretty well anything else you give us, except clothes and shoes, accompanied by a friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes.
If you have items to donate please bring them to the church between 2pm and 6pm on Friday 9th June or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection. This is also the number for any queries or offers of help, but otherwise we’ll again look forward to seeing you on the day!
Harvil Road plans
HS2/SCS have been in discussion with LBH Officers regarding the next Phase of works on Harvil Road that they hope to have completed by early July 2023 (prior to the major works on Moorhall Road for the Colne Valley Viaduct Crossing).
The 4 Week Full Road Closure has now been agreed with HS2/SCS, as this was seen as the best possible solution rather than facing a longer period of very disruptive Traffic Management under other proposals.
Please follow the link for the HS2 Communications regarding this Closure – For further information please see the works notification. https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/notice-of-harvil-road-closure/
The works being carried out during this Road Closure are the most disruptive remaining in the Realignment Programme, and once these works are completed, the remaining Phases of works in the Autumn should be carried out under temporary Traffic Lights before a final short Road Closure is required in order to transfer between the existing Road and the new Realigned Road.
LBH and HS2/SCS confirm the Full Road Closure will be from Mon 12/06 until Sun 09/07 in the section between the Dogs Trust and the Bridge by Skip Lane.
While the Road Closure is in place by the Dogs Trust, there will also be 4-Way Traffic Lights between HS2 Gate 1 and Skip Lane to allow Affinity Water and BT works near the Certas Oil Depot. Any other works that can be carried out by HS2/SCS while the Road Closure is in place will be encouraged, in order to maximise the amount of work undertaken during the Closure.
In Summary – This work will consist of 2 Parts; a Full Road Closure by the Dogs Trust, and 4-Way Traffic Lights between HS2 Gate 1 & Skip Lane junction.
Part 1:
o Mon 12/06 to Sun 09/07 – FULL ROAD CLOSURE
o Location – Dogs Trust to Skip Lane Bridge
o Utilities and Civils ties ins for new road
o Activities: Water Main installation, Diversion of existing Utilities, Highway & Drainage Construction, Existing Road Demolition, Resurfacing, Kerb Installations and Road Markings
Part 2
o Mon 12/06 for approx. 2 weeks – 4-Way Traffic Lights
o Location – HS2 Gate 1 to Skip Lane junction
o Affinity Water Hydrant works & BT works
