Latest Ickenham Residents’ Association Newsletter

This from the IRA:

At long last we are able to print and deliver our latest newsletter

They should be with your road stewards early this week and with you shortly afterwards

We hope all our members get one dropping through their letterbox but just in case we will be leaving copies in the Library and, hopefully, in Maison du Soleil

This edition will NOT be available on our website.

We will not be collecting subs at the this time but hope to do so later in the year.

Thank you to our delivery team for their help and support

U46 Footpath Diversion

from HS2

The U46 footpath diversion

We are progressing to a stage in our works where we will be diverting a number of footpaths. These works will facilitate the completion of the internal haul road and help to keep as many vehicles off local roads as possible. Our first diversion is the U46 footpath, the short footpath that runs from the Celandine Way to Breakspear Road South near Oak Farm. The surface of U43 has been improved and extended and it currently progresses south behind the trees and emerges at a marked crossing point in Breakspear Road South. Please see map on link below.

September URC Jumble Sale

From URC:

We were overwhelmed by the response to our July sale, which raised over £590 despite only featuring plants and the quality books and the weather being rather Wimbledon.  It was lovely to see so many old friends again after a long gap and they seemed really happy to be back.  So, we’re going to do it again on Saturday 4th September [10am to 12 Noon, admission free] with a coffee morning and plant stall, lots more books [and stamps and postcards] plus bric-a-brac and toys and games.  If you have things to donate please bring them to the church on Friday 3rd September between 3pm and 7pm or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection.  We could also do with some more helpers to join our happy team so if you think you could spare an hour or two please ring the same number for details.  Whether helping or visiting you will be supporting a range of worthwhile charities as well as the work of our church

Ickenham Road and High Road works 6 to 20 July 2021

From HS2

Work item details

What we are doing
From 6 to 20 July 2021, we will be carrying out ground investigation along Ickenham Road and High Road near the West Ruislip train station, in the area shown on the map link below. This will help to inform our design decisions in the area. The ground investigation will involve the use of scanning equipment to identify utilities in the area. We will be excavating trial holes to take measurements and ground samples.

How the surveys might affect you
Due to the location of the utility surveys, footpath diversion will be in place and the cycle path will be closed for the duration of these activities. This is to ensure that the surveys can be carried out safely.
There will be no disruption to your utility services.
