Its aim is to understand residents’ experiences and preferences regarding GP access, which will help shape recommendations to improve these services based on the community’s needs. The survey offers residents the opportunity to share their recent experiences and priorities for accessing GP services. By collecting a wide range of insights, It hopes to inform changes that can make GP services more accessible and responsive to the community. This email includes a link to an article providing further information about the survey, along with the survey link itself. The survey is brief and anonymous, and all responses will contribute to a clearer understanding of community perspectives on GP access. Please note that the survey will remain open until 31 December 2024, as Healthwatch Hillingdon will begin analysing responses in early January.

Westway Closures
| from TFL Every weekend, from Friday 8 November until Monday 25 November, the A40 Westway will be closed eastbound between the Westway roundabout and Marylebone Flyover. Works will take place from 22:00 on Fridays until 05:00 on Mondays. No works will take place outside these times and westbound traffic will not be affected. The road will reopen on Monday 25 November to minimise disruption during the festive season, with weekend closures resuming on Friday 3 January 2025.

Household recycling survey
| from LBH How does your household recycle? We’ve created a short online survey to help us identify and address barriers that might stop residents from recycling. The results will help us understand how households decide which items to recycle and which to put in their waste bin. Your feedback will also help us shape our services in the future, to increase rates, reduce contamination levels in our weekly collections and reduce overall levels of household waste. T ake the survey: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=ebasqoHD-0izIPnVge6Uj_DrTkFwxBNIu19SH9lGKt5UM1laSkdLWEtaSVg0VTNRNEhQODdUN05NVC4u&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery |
