Work on behalf of HS2 Ltd – National Grid overhead earthwire works
National Grid has re-routed and raised the height of a line of electricity pylons in Colne Valley to achieve safety clearance for HS2 Ltd. This month, as part of the final package of our work, we’ll replace the earthwire (the wire at the top of the pylons) over three spans. This upgrade work will keep the transmission network in first-class working order and help to meet future electricity demands.. Breakspear Road North closure and diversion: From Monday 20 March until Monday 27 March the road will be closed from Breakspear Road/South up to Rickmansworth Road, Harefield.

The proposed agenda is :

1. Welcome and Introductions
2. Construction overview
3. Past issues and steps taken to address
4. Plans going forward
5. Question and Answer session

All residents are welcome to attend.

Please join us for a community event on Tuesday 21 March 2023 between 4pm and 7pm at the Ickenham United Reformed Church, Swakeleys Rd, Ickenham, Uxbridge UB10 8BE.

The SCS Railways project team will be on hand to update you and answer your questions on the following areas:

• West Ruislip Portal activities – including tunnelling progress and the new rail siding
• Conveyor works – how we will be moving material taken out of the tunnels to reduce lorries on local roads
• Harvil Road – progress on changes and next steps Aerial drone video of the working areas between West Ruislip and Harvil Road will be shown at the event.

March 16 Ickenham Village Hall ……..start 5:30 pm……finish by 7 pm

This is a ‘sit down’ meeting where HS2/SCS will present what steps are being taken to prevent problems such as water leakage and soil slippage whilst tunnel spoil is being dumped in the fields between Breakspear Road South and Harvil Road and later when HS2/SCS leave the site.

The meeting will include time for residents to question the HS2/SCS representatives.

HS2 call this site the Southern Sustainable Placement Area (SSPA). Spoil which is primarily London Clay is conveyed from the tunnel boring machines at West Ruislip and will be dumped in the fields up to a height of 6 metres. At completion the mounds will be landscaped.

HS2/SCS has been preparing the fields by removing top spoil and creating attenuation ponds. However there has been significant water leakage causing flooding and mud on the road and power outage and residents of Breakspear Road South have been very concerned about future activities in the fields.

This meeting has been organised after campaigning by residents and is open to all affected residents and all other residents who are concerned about HS2 activities in Ickenham.

(Please note HS2 has also organised a ‘drop in’ event at URC on March 21 covering all their activities in the area but it will not be an organised sit down meeting.)
