Hello. No-one’s complained but I’ve just noticed two things about the Planning Appeals map/list:
My apologies to anyone tripped up because I failed to check the links.
Another lesson learnt.
The planning map is here, if you’re unfamiliar with it.
Last July Rob Bryan, Temporary Chief Inspector for Partnership & Neighbourhoods in Hillingdon, teamed up with our Neighbourhood Watch friends to publish a monthly Hillingdon Police Community Newsletter.
If you’re not already receiving this in your email, or if you would prefer to access it directly at your own convenience, you can access current and past issues directly from the Neighbourhood Watch website.
If you’re of a technical bent, you can read copies in your browser by using the format below for the web address (remove the quote marks – I added them to stop some browsers converting the address into a hyperlink):
“www.hillingdonnhw.co.uk/v4/docs/communicator_20yy_mm.pdf”
Just substitute yy with the last two digits of the year and mm with the number of the month.
Happy reading!

They do sell out quickly and if they’re gone, they’re gone.
Contrary to a current rumour we (Ickenham Residents’ Association) do not have an allocation.
Good luck!
Neighbourhood Watch knows where lots of CCTV cameras are. If you tell them quickly enough (i.e. don’t leave it for days) then they can check the recordings and help the police to nail the villains.
Make sure you tell the police first. As so often happens, someone has just reported a burglary to NHW but it happened at the start of the month, which could mean that the recordings have already been overwritten.
Some residents don’t even bother to report car break-ins to NHW, yet these often reveal leads to bigger crimes in the area.

Brunel University students, working with West London Film & Media CIC and Groundwork South, have put together a seven-minute video about the Colne Valley Park as it stands today, before it is cut through by the twin threats of HS2 and Heathrow’s third runway.
It’s a charming film of the pleasures on the doorstep of 10 million people. Perhaps it will inspire you to visit the attractions, support the cafés and other local businesses and perhaps get involved in some way with its associated charities.
More information here.
Our thanks to Twitter’s Mrs_AngryJones for the tip-off.
The Ickenham Festival Team will be holding its ever-popular “Burns Night” at Douay Martyrs School on Saturday 21st January 2017.
You can look forward to a live ceilidh band (The Larkrise Ranters), with a caller, a Piper, a haggis supper, dancing, and Burns poetry reading. A great night out is promised for all.
Full details of tickets and booking are on the Ickenham Festival website. Don’t delay, tickets sell out fast.
HS2 is holding two ‘information-sharing events’ for Ickenham residents in October and November.
Here’s a summary:
HS2 has been trying to identify ways of reducing HGV traffic movements in the West Ruislip and Ickenham area, in particular, the peak two-way HGV movements from 1060 to a maximum of 550 per day at Swakeleys Roundabout.
Its report sets out its proposals, plus ways to significantly reduce sustainable placement of surplus excavated materials on land between Harvil Road and Breakspear Road South.
If you want to preview what it will be presenting, the summary report is at: www.gov.uk/government/publications/hillingdon-traffic-study-summary-report
