Visit Swakeleys House Grounds Saturday 15th June
I think they want you to visit. But they’re very coy about it. I was tipped off this morning and found this sign on the Milton Road entrance gate (which was folded back and couldn’t easily be seen from the road.

This email is to inform you that officers from LBH and some of our partners will be carrying out a Multi-Agency Partnership Day in the wards of West Ruislip ,Ruislip Manor and Ickenham on Friday 14th June.
The event will run from 2 – 8pm. There will be an Information Hub in Waitrose, 9 ,Kingsend, Ruislip HA4 7DS where officers will be handing out leaflets and giving advice on Community Safety issues amongst others, to residents and people working or studying in the borough.
In addition, LBH Officers and some of our partners will be out and about carrying out their core duties. For example, the Police will be carrying out a weapons sweep and it is hoped the Fire Brigade will be offering advice on Home Fire Safety Visits ( subject to operational commitments).
Others taking part include the Environmental Enforcement Team, ASBET, Parking Services, Children’s Services, Neighbourhood Watch and Community Safety.

Harvil Road Injunction
On the 16 May 2019, the High Court granted an injunction to prevent protesters trespassing on HS2 land and obstructing access to HS2’s worksites at Harvil Road.
The court injunction is necessary to help us keep the public and our staff safe at our work sites. There have been numerous incidents of trespass and obstruction, including incidents where protesters have climbed onto vehicles, lay down in the path of vehicles and climbing underneath vehicles. All of which have the potential to cause serious injury and health and safety is HS2’s highest concern.
Please note that this injunction does not restrict activity on land that is not covered by the injunction, a map can be found here as well as more information about the injunction

Breakspear Road South closure postponed
This from HS2:
Dear Residents
We understand from many meetings with you that there has been a strong desire to defer the Breakspear Road South closure works until the summer holidays. HS2 strives to be a good neighbour every single day and work collaboratively with the local community. This has not been an easy decision. This has required careful consideration of the risks and benefits of deferring the works and the impact on the overall programme. I am pleased to inform you that as a result of these discussions we have decided to postpone the road closure until the end of the summer school term (July 19), avoiding the exam period. We will continue to engage with the utility companies to identify a new date for these works to be completed. We will keep you informed of these discussions.
I hope this demonstrates that we take our role in being a good neighbour seriously and have listened and responded to the needs of the community.
Please be aware it will take a few days for me to organise the removal of signage and update any communication materials we have made available about the closure.
With very kind regards
Julie
