Swakeleys Roundabout modifications update

Committee member Brian Adams summarises the current situation with Swakeleys Roundabout as follows:

The Transport for London (TfL) application, supported by HS2, to install traffic lights on Swakeleys roundabout has not been approved by the London Borough of Hillingdon. The TfL proposal did not appear to take the problems of the  local road systems into account and the response to the consultation by residents was overwhelmingly against signalisation. The proposal did include improvements for pedestrians and cyclists and the London Borough of Hillingdon has proposed that TfL should proceed with these , particularly as there will be many HS2 HGVs using the roundabout when the Main Works construction takes place.

HS2 lorry movements

HS2 has put in a planning application to LBH. Among other things it includes (a very unsurprising) map of lorry access to Moorhall Road and Harvil Road work sites.

The dashed line shows the routes (best to see it full-size in the third of the plans submitted) (you’ll still need to expand it to read the explanation underneath.) It’s the obvious circular route from Denham roundabout along the A40 to the A412 then onto Moorhall Road or up to Swakeleys roundabout onto Swakeleys Road then Harvil Road.

Ruislip Against HS2 says LBH is running a consultation on this – I can’t find it. I’ll let you know when and if I do.
