Harvil Road realignment

Posted on by

From 9 October to 5 November, we will be carrying out utility works and construction activities to build and finalise the connection sections for the Harvil Road realignment.

The construction activities that need to be completed during the closure include:

  • Main water connections, including pressure testing
  • Street lighting & electrical installation
  • Highway & drainage construction
  • Resurfacing, white lining and installation of street furniture

To carry out the works safely, we will need:

From our Ward Cllrs

The three trial ward surgeries have now been held. These generated a low level of attendance and few matters that required follow up.

We are going to continue with ward surgeries for a further period but on the basis of booked appointments only. This can be booked via our group office.

The surgeries will be from 2.15 on the last Tuesday of the month for a maximum of two hours. The surgery will only run if there are booked appointments and will conclude when the last booked appointment has been seen.

BRS – This weekend

The HS2/SCS works which required Night Time Road Closures of Breakspear Road South for the removal of the Bridge Deck Edge Protection attached to both sides of the newly built HS2 Bridge has now been rearranged and will take place this Saturday 02/09 & Sunday 03/09 with the Road Closed between 10pm to 5am on both nights from the Chiltern Bridge to the HS2 Bridge.

These works were postponed at short notice due to the late submission of the Environmental Consent from HS2/SCS to LBH, but LBH have now agreed to allow these programme critical works to take place this weekend so as not to further delay HS2 operations. The works were originally proposed to take 5 Nights to complete, but the works have now been condensed to be completed over 2 Nights, which is a positive for all parties concerned. Details below:

Traffic Management:

• Night Time Road Closures of Breakspear Road South over 2 Nights – Sat 02/09 & Sun 03/09 (Road Closed 10pm to 5am)
• Road Closed from Chiltern Bridge to HS2 Bridge
• Diversion Route via Swakeleys Road, Ickenham Road, Ruislip High Street, Breakspear Road

Activities:

• Carry out the removal of the Bridge Deck Edge Protection attached to both sides of the newly built HS2 Bridge
• Once this piece of work is complete, the new Bridge over Breakspear Road South is complete from a construction perspective

From URC

Our Summer Forecourt Sale was another success, with a great turnout, lovely atmosphere and takings of £742. But we’re never satisfied and are going again with a Late Summer Forecourt Sale on Saturday 9th September from 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE.

It will be a wonderful opportunity for puzzlers, with jigsaws and items from the famous “WASGIJ” collection. Otherwise, it will be the same successful formula, with a plant stall, quality bric-a-brac, books galore, maps, stamps, jigsaws, boxed games and pretty well anything else you give us, except clothes and shoes, accompanied by a friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes.

We would particularly welcome more bric-a-brac and quality books so please think what you might be able to do without and bring the stuff to the church between 2pm and 6pm on Friday 8th September or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection. This is also the number for any queries or offers of help and see you on the day!
