Hillingdon u3a update
It seems that, although u3a was coined as an acronym for University of the Third Age, the ‘university’ word carried too many implications. What follows is a more accurate description gleaned from the Hillingdon u3a website:
Based in West London, Hillingdon u3a provides many educational, creative and leisure opportunities for its members in a friendly environment. This is achieved by its members running over 80 interest groups. You can see the list of these in the Groups page. Hillingdon u3a is well established having formed 24 years ago and now has over 850 members across the Ruislip, Ickenham, Uxbridge, Hillingdon, Hayes and West Drayton area. It also has an active social programme of monthly meetings, visits, walks, concerts, theatre trips and a regular members’ newsletter.

Please write your address clearly on each tag using permanent ink and attach one to each sack. Watch our short video below, to see how to attach your tags correctly (opens in a new window).  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FODK8pSqlc0 An additional three sacks and three tags can be requested via the council website if required (a maximum of 6 sacks and tags per household).

Garden waste update from LBH
We’re getting in touch to let you know about a change to our garden waste collection service. . From Monday 7 July, garden waste will only be collected from residents who have subscribed to our new fee-based collections. Subscribers will receive weekly household collections in spring, summer and autumn (fortnightly in winter) and a 270-litre capacity per collection (three 90-litre canvas sacks) as standard*, for a £70 annual fee. You can register now. Once you sign up, you’ll be sent three green tags to attach to the handles of your current canvas sacks to confirm your subscription. We are already receiving high numbers of subscriptions and, due to manufacturer logistical issues, there’s a chance some tag deliveries may be delayed. However, our crews are able to check all households that have subscribed in real-time during their rounds, so if you’ve not received your tags when your collection is due, please write your house number on your sacks in permanent marker and they will be collected. *An additional three sacks and three tags can be requested via the council website if required. |
