We’re writing to let you know about some planned works that we will be carrying out in your area.

HS2 Works Notification: Road closure on Breakspear Road South – 5 to 27 April 2025

From 5 to 27 April 2025, we will be carrying out works on Breakspear Road South, under a full 24-hour road closure north and south of the Network Rail bridge. 

During the road closure we will:

  • Remove and replace the culvert, including excavating a trench across the road to install the new drainage pipes
  • Cut sheet piles along the area of the HS2 Breakspear Road bridge
  • Install ditches by excavating and by clearing some vegetation and trees

The following traffic management will be in place:

  • A full road closure will in place to ensure that the work can be carried out safely.
  • A clearly signposted diversion route will be in place via Swakeleys Road B467/ High Road B466/ Ickenham Road/ High Street/ Bury Street A4180/ Breakspear Road.
  • Local access to residential properties will be maintained, however, there will be no through access for emergency services.

Two weeks of the closure will be within the Easter school holiday from 7 to 21 April 2025. We would like to apologise for any disruption or inconvenience these works may cause. For further details please follow this link.  https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/breakspear-road-south-closure-5-to-27-april/#msdynmkt_trackingcontext=97b3e4d8-ff93-4abe-87c5-b0476433a3d5

comments to be in by 20th March 2025
(there is also the possibility of one at Hillingdon Circus)

And word of this one has already been doing the rounds:

We are proposing a change to our garden waste collection service to make it more sustainable.
The proposed change would see the introduction of a £70 charge for 2025/26 for the collection of a household’s garden waste. The charge would support the running costs of the service and ensure it’s paid for by those using it – rather than the cost being shared by all taxpayers, including those without gardens.
Our garden waste collection service would continue to offer residents:
• better value for money than neighbouring boroughs through a cheaper rate per collection
• weekly collections in spring, summer and autumn
• greater capacity of collected garden waste than other boroughs.
Residents without a subscription would still be able to take their garden waste to our civic amenity sites for free.
