Help the council with its budget

Each year the council must consider and agree a balanced budget for its services and the amount of local council tax to be raised from residents and businesses, to help fund this budget.
In considering its options for 2022/23, the Council is keen to hear the views of residents and local businesses on its budget proposals.

During the second phase, we will be carrying out the main utility works which includes excavation, installation and reinstatement of the gas mains and installation of water valves. Estimated dates 24 January to 30 April 2022.

In the final phase we will reinstate the central reservation and pedestrian crossing. Estimated dates 2 to 28 May 2022.

Please see below for more information about locations and the works we will be carrying out over the next few months.

In order to carry out these utility works safely:
– a footpath diversion will be in place including a temporary pedestrian crossing either side of the work area
– the cycle path will be closed for the duration of these works
– the West Ruislip bus Stop S and Stop M will be suspended and temporarily moved to a safe location.

Your utility services will not be affected.

You may notice periods of increased noise during these works. We would like to apologise in advance for any disruption or inconvenience this may cause. Every effort is being taken to keep disruption to a minimum.

Covid jabs now at Hillingdon Hospital

Posted on by
The Hillingdon Hospitals Trust has opened a new public Covid-19 vaccination hub, at Hillingdon Hospital, and there are plenty of appointments available – either book online     https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/or walk in.  The new centre will help roll out of the Covid-19 vaccinations and boosters that are vital to keeping everyone in our community safe. But we need your help. Please could you help share information about this service with your contacts and encourage your friends, neighbours, colleagues and family to come and have their vaccination at Hillingdon Hospital. 

More information is below and attached are posters / social media assets that you are welcome to use.

If you would like more information or additional materials, please contact the communications team at: thh-tr.communications@nhs.net. 

About the hub:    The hub is located on Pinewood Ward at Hillingdon Hospital, and can be accessed via a dedicated external entrance through the car park just off Royal Lane, so that visitors do not need to go through the main hospital building.   We are offering the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine, and can provide first and second doses to anyone 16 or over, as well as boosters for adults over the age of 18.  The hub is open between 8.30am and 7.30pm, seven days a week. Walk-in appointments are available.  

Appointments can also be made through the National Booking system  https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/. Pre-bookable booster appointments are currently being offered to anyone over the age of 30, and the system will be updated on Wednesday 15 December to allow those over the age of 18 to book for their booster.   

In the meantime, over 18s are welcome to access booster vaccines through walk-in appointments, provided it has been at least 3 months (91 days) since their second dose.   Please note that we still require anyone attending our sites to wear a clean surgical mask, maintain social distancing, and wash/sanitise hands regularly. This helps us to keep everyone safe.  

Current vaccine eligibility:   Anyone over the aged 16 or over can have a vaccine.  People aged 18 or over should have their second dose from 8 weeks after their first dose.  Most people aged 16 or 17 should have their second dose from 12 weeks after their first dose.  Anyone aged 18 or over can get a booster vaccine from 3 months (91 days) after their second dose.    

Vaccines are effective way for us to combat the virus – they save lives.  If you have any questions or concerns about the vaccine, there is a wealth of information available on the NHS Coronavirus Vaccination webpage and the Government’s website.  

Utility works at West Ruislip

Posted on by

From HS2

On the 29, 30 and 31 of December 2021, we will be carrying out steel fixing works on the tunnel portal area at our West Ruislip site.

These works will be done within our site boundary at 11 meters below ground level therefore, we do not anticipate any noise or disruption.

Steel fixing is the activity that takes place to create many of the steel support structures that are used in the construction of the railway, the work comprises a crane lifting materials into the excavation below ground and then operatives manually fixing these lengths of steel in place.

Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way. We will ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum. for more info
