BT ‘going digital’ event
BT has announced that it is switching from its analogue to a digital phone service by Christmas 2025. This means new (free) connection equipment is needed and, unless it’s very old, you’ll be able to continue using your existing telephone equipment.
To answer your queries, a demonstration vehicle will be at Ickenham Library on 17th and 18th November 09:00-14:00. That’s in Community Close, UB10 8RE. No need to book, just turn up.
This is the only one in the whole borough.

Harvil Road prioritisation change
HS2/SCS have reported that they have found a failed Water Chamber Metal Cover on Harvil Road Northbound Carriageway near the Dogs Trust. Having inspected the Cover and the Tarmac area around it they are not confident that it will withstand much further traffic driving over it without completely failing so have had to take action on the grounds of road safety.
As such HS2/SCS have coned off the area around the Water Chamber Cover for safety reasons and installed a Traffic Priority System that allows the Southbound Traffic to flow normally (with Northbound Traffic having to give Priority to Southbound Traffic). This was the best workable solution in this area as 2-Way traffic flow cannot be maintained with the area coned off without installing temporary Traffic Lights that would reduce traffic flow to 1 Lane Only (due to limitations with the remaining road width).
The Traffic Priority System is likely to remain in place over the weekend and will then be part of the scheduled HS2/SCS Lane Closure for the Water Main Commissioning from Mon 30/10 to Sun 12/11.
