Proposed closure of surgery

Posted on by

We are sure you are aware of the issues with St Martin’s Ickenham surgery as, according to our informant, “It rarely seems to be open with daily closure notices posted on the door.”

We have been informed that some registered patients received information by text on 2nd Dec of two consutation meetings on the proposed closure of this surgery. Apparently, not all patients have received this notification.

The details are as follows:

Thursday 8 Dec 22 consultation meeting is in St Giles Church Hall 10:30am to 11:30am.

Saturday’s is on 10 Dec 22 in the Ickenham Village Hall (33 Swakeley’s Road) also 10:30am to 11:30am.

The PPG Chairman and Deputy Chairman will attend both meetings.

If you have any more information please let us know and circulate this as far as possible as we cannot afford to lose a GP sugery from the village.

Blooper in our winter newsletter. Sorry.

Be warned of dodgy activity on your property records

An interesting extract from a recent Neighbourhood Watch notification:

… some doorstep fraudsters are attempting to get elderly residents to sign their property over to them.

Did you know that the Land Registry provides a FREE alert service to give you an immediate email alert if official searches and applications are received against a monitored property?  This can give early warning that identity theft is in play using your stolen details.  Identity theft can take place as a result of details taken from your unshredded recycling, or from a hacked online shopping site where you hold an account, for example.

Full details and how to sign up can be found at the Land Registry website here:

You could also consider signing up for a Land Registry alert for the property of an elderly relative.

Police, women and safety

Posted on by

On Saturday 12th November 2022, there will be a Walk and Talk Activity nearby the pond in Swakeley’s Park, Ickenham, UB10 8SH between 3-4PM. [Looks like the Swakeley’s Drive end – Ed.]

The Walk and Talk initiative involves female officers buddying up with women from their communities to go out on patrol in open spaces so that they can hear first-hand their experiences, concerns and reflections.

The aim of the walkabout is to start a conversation between female residents and their local female Police officers about their safety concerns and what police can do, working with partners, to address them. We look forward to meeting you there!
