HS2 face-to-face 4-7pm tomorrow
From Brian Adams (our HS2 lead):
You may be impacted by the noise and pollution from the dumping of tunnel spoil in the fields between Harvil Road and Breakspear Road South – this is yet to start and will take up to three years with tens of thousands of HGV movements.
You may be impacted by the movement of the spoil from West Ruislip to the fields above. They will be using conveyors systems 24/7 for up to three years
You may be impacted by lane and road closures planned by HS2 over the next few years
You may be impacted by HS2’s plans to bring the tunnel segments using large flatbed lorries through Ickenham village……..until the rail siding are completed at West Ruislip.
If you are interested in what HS2 and its contractors are doing in Ickenham for the next few years please go along to the United Reform Church tomorrow 18th October between 16.00 and 19.00.
You will find a list of some questions, you may wish to ask, in our previous post on the subject.
Upcoming refuse collection day changes
from LBH
Changes to rubbish and recycling collection days
From Monday 31 October, we are changing collection days for some households in the borough.
We are making these changes to improve our collection routes, so that they are more efficient and reduce our carbon emissions.
Important things to note
From Monday 31 October:
• all collections will be made from the front of your property (if your waste bags are currently collected from the rear of your property, this will stop)
• your collection time could also change (over a period of time, as the new routes settle) – please make sure your rubbish and recycling is placed at the front boundary of your property by 6am on your collection day
• general waste, clear recycling bags, garden waste and food waste will continue to be collected on the same day as each other.
Please note: Flats with communal bins will be unaffected.
Check your new collection day here https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/new-waste-collection-day

IRA suggests sharing the new day with neighbours who are not online. Thank you.
Not the URC Forecourt Sale!
From the URC
Firstly, apologies to anyone who was inconvenienced by the cancellation, out of respect to our late Queen, of the Late Summer Forecourt Sale. This was by definition at short notice and though we tried to spread the word we were not wholly successful, but it was good that one or two people took the opportunity for quiet contemplation in the church. As a replacement we will be holding a sale [entirely indoors!] and coffee morning on Saturday 15th October from 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE. We will be selling bric-a-brac, books, collectables such as stamps and cigarette cards and pretty well anything else that we already have or which comes in, except clothes or shoes. If you have items to donate please bring them to the church between 2pm and 6pm on Friday 14th October or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection. This is also the number for any enquiries or offers of help.
Please also note that we will be holding a sale of Christmas items [probably with some quality books as well!] as part of the Festive Community Night on Friday 9th December, with the sale continuing plus an accompanying coffee morning on Saturday 10th.

HS2 face-to-face 4-7pm 18 October
| Community event at Ickenham United Reformed Church (Please see our local HS2 groups comments below this invite from HS2.) From HS2 We would like to invite you to a community information event on Tuesday 18 October 2022 from 4pm to 7pm at Ickenham United Reformed Church. Please come along to discuss our works with our local engagement team and specialists, and to find out more about: • Plans for the land between Harvil Road and Breakspear Road South • Tunnelling works • Work around the West Ruislip portal You can drop in anytime between 4 and 7pm. We look forward to seeing you there. We will be observing social distancing and may choose to wear facemasks during this engagement event. Our comments / notes Re HS2 WORKS IN FIELDS BETWEEN HARVIL AND BREAKSPEAR ROAD SOUTH Many residents in roads around these fields have been questioning what is taking place in these fields. We have known since 2013 that HS2 planned to use this agricultural land to dump the spoil from the tunnels being created from West Ruislip towards London. In our petitioning to the Houses of Parliament we tried to get this changed and offered alternative solutions but we were not successful. The reality is that the works are just starting and we have several years of noise and pollution as thousands of HGVs will be driving back and forth with the spoil creating mounds up to 6 metres high. To get the spoil to the fields there will be a conveyor system from West Ruislip which will run 24 hours/ 7 days a week. The impact will therefore be felt by many residents. We have requested HS2/SCS the contractor to run an event in the village so that residents can get an understanding of what is happening, what are the short and long term plans and what mitigation is being put in place. This is now happening October 18 in United Reform Church between 16.00 and 19.00 Please go along and make the representatives aware of the issues you are experiencing or foresee. We have listed below some questions you may wish to ask: Dumping: What is happening now? What is happening next and all future phases ? How long will this dumping take place? How many HGV movements will take place? What are working hours ? What is in place to reduce noise and pollution? What if the noise is intolerable…what can a resident do ? What is the flood risk from 6 metre high clay mounds? What happens to the fields when the dumping is finished ? Who is responsible in the future if there are floods or earth slippages ? Conveyor Systems What will the noise impact be during the day and during the night ? Who will be most impacted (e.g. Greenway/Hoylake Crescent/Copthall Road West) by noise ? What are the dust pollution measures ? What if systems fail ? |
